Le Chuck:
The 3 and 4 releases aren't working for me. I've restarted three times and held my breath and everything when trying to execute but get a "this program has stopped working" screen. Attached are the sprites for the ghosts - should be complete if somebody wants to try them out, I've no idea how they look.
Also attached are all the other sprites hacked up but unlabeled as I don't want to go through everything without a working copy I can check along the way. I hadn't done any scared versions of the small characters so you can duplicate the normal versions if you want for right now, again, once I get it up and running I'll assess what's needed and add more sprite variations accordingly to match what sjaak has designed for.
edit: Reinstalled the dependencies - I think I might need to do a wipe on this computer - looking to be about that time. NET framework kicked out some odd errors right at the end. I'll fiddle with it later. Looks like all the crap I've been doing trying to get weird FEs to run may have borked up my system. Figures. If I have to do a wipe it'll set me back another week or so and maybe then some because I'll have to find the time. Meh.

Le Chuck - if you've been playing with your sprites, see if there are any Thumbs.db files in your sprites folders. They may be hidden files. If there are, remove them and try to run the game again. I found that as I played with the sprites, it often created this Thumbs.db file in every folder I was in. Removing the files and launching the game again worked for me.
I assume the game parses the sprites folders looking for image files, and when it hits the Thumbs.db files, it throws an exception.
EDIT: Yes, I can see the thumbs.db files in your rar files. Try removing these and running again, and hopefully you'll be good to go man!
Sjaak:
I fixed the problem with the thumbs.db files (any non .png file is now ignored). I also added some default sprites, which make the game "playable" without the need to add more sprites.
