The important parts of the readmes are slightly buried and then who reads readmes... Most of what people end up needing to know is contained in these files. Possible kinks could be outdated windows system files, lack of .NET support, missing 7zip installation and maybe you might need to put a working copy of 7z.exe in the bootleg folder, this happened to me once ages ago. It's user error, or a system software incompatibility issue that is fixable. Give us more info... what platform are you running this on? Windows 7 windows XP?
