Internal Application Error on FA2

Went to use FA2 and keep getting this error, I've tried reinstalling and playing around with compatibility settings but nothing works.

This only started happening after a fresh ra2/yr install to get the cncnet5 client working again, any ideas?

EDIT: removing just rulesmd.ini from the RA2 folder fixes this, wonder what line of code in the rules is screwing with FA2? I suspect it's the houses, if that's the case is there any way around this?

Most likely a mix loading problem, or it doesn't have permissions based on where the files are (ie. Program Files)...

Nope it was the rules ini, I'm certain its the houses and I need a custom FA2 like MO. The joys of being a solo modder.

Retry with a fresh rules and map, making dbl sure Houses are the only difference.

I've completely replaced all the houses in my mod & FA2 works without any errors, so that's not the problem.

1. Take an original rules.ini. Works?
-No. Issue is something else
-Yes. Step 2

2. Replace first Section with your mod rules.ini. Works?
-No. Problem is in this Section. Step 3
-Yes. Step 2 and replace another Section

3. Replace Section with original rules.ini and change only first half of the keys with your mod rules.ini section. Works?
No. Step 3 and replace even less keys
Yes. Replace other half of keys

Continue till you find exactly which key/code is the issue
Shouldn't take more than 10-20 steps till you find the exact reason. With testing each time taking only seconds, this shouldn't take long to find out.

Could it be that you have a section that is opened using [ but not closed with a ]?
It looks like FA2 found something in an INI file that starts like a section, then assumes there's a ] and tries to replace that closing square bracket, it assumes there is one without further check. There is none, thus a function returns a null pointer (0x0), and that's where FA2 tries to write to.
