This plugin is looking for access to:

• Windows Media Player Legacy
• ODBC Data Sources (32-bit)

Not sure why it needs access to Windows Media Player. And the ODBC Data Sources link is an admin only too. Why does a dictionary need admin access?

[harrynull]

I don't think the second stack trace re WMP is related to my plugin. The first one might be caused by a corrupted database file. Could you try removing the db file / manually download one? README has instructions on how to do that.

[johnnymatthews]

For sure. I don't have access to my Windows machine right now, but can try it later this week.
