Have you decompressed aseprite in a folder? If you have decompressed the .zip 
in (e.g.) c:\users\name\desktop\aseprite, check if gui.xml exists in 
c:\users\name\desktop\aseprite\data\gui.xml, You should have that file.

PS: You cannot execute aseprite from the .zip file, you must decompress it in a 
folder.

I've extracted all the files to C:\AES and can confirm that gui.xml can be 
found in C:\AES\gui.xml

Also, when attempting to run previous versions, aseprite only flashes and 
crashes. I don't receive any error message.

Could this be some missing XML loading library?

I don't know what program are you using to decompress files, but I see that you 
are getting a bad structure of directories. The file gui.xml should be located 
in C:\AES\data\gui.xml, so your program is not decompressing it right (use some 
program that keeps the original directories structure, e.g. normal behavior of 
WinZip, WinRar, or 7zip).

PS: About "You can assume I'm not mentally handicapped", I always assume 
nothing.

I extracted it with Peazip (trying out a new piece of software). Trying it with 
7zip, and it looks like the entire folder structure was lost by Peazip. I've 
never seen something so stupid. It runs fine when 7z correctly extracts the 
folder structure. I would have never assumed the archiving software to be the 
root of the problem, these things should just work! Don't use Peazip! 

Thanks for your help!
