If this is a new installation, make sure you have updated windows fully. Some newly
installed OS's seem to not like simcraft. 

Has the program worked for you before in previous versions?

Last version that worked was 547-4

Hrm. That was the version before I swapped from visual studio 2012 to 2013, which uses
different .dll files. I'll do some research and see if I can fix it.

See if that fixes it, kind of a guess though.

Does the non-gui version do it as well? Just in case you haven't used it before:

1. Open up the folder in the file explorer.
2. Hold down shift, right click in the folder, not selecting any file. Select "Open
command prompt here"
3. type in 
simc64 raid_t16h.simc

Let me know if that works.

Also try this:
http://downloads.simulationcraft.org/simc-601-alpha-win64-6-30-14.zip

It's an early release of warlords changes. It could be possible I fixed this on that
particular version, but not on the MoP release.

Make sure you're on the latest service pack, some of the issues I'm seeing are connected
to not having that.
