I noticed that there's a problem if the user downloads the source code (I used the zip file option provided by GitHub on the main repository page) and tries to open the main form without first building the project. What happens is, Visual Studio complains about not being able to find the resources and that if you ignore the errors, controls may be missing from the form and the Designer may become unstable. You can fix this by building the solution. Go to the Build menu and click Rebuild UXL-Launcher. This will cause certain resource DLLs to be built, in addition to the EXE file. Next, reopen the solution file and the main window should be visible.

Alternatively, open the UXL-Launcher.sln file, then debug the project by pressing the F5 key on your keyboard or by clicking the > Start button on the toolbar. After doing this, reopen the solution file.
