I've re-downloaded and extracted the archive; and I've tried this on 2 other laptops, a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise box; and on my gaming system. The errors are all 100% identical.

Found out what it was: When extracting (in my case, with WinRAR), the original archive has translated spacing (ie, "%20") in the folder name. The ROMUpdateUtility.exe can't handle folders with this naming convention. When I'd click "Extract here <internal archive folder name>" the %20 would be carried into the folder created. But when I used "Extract Here" and let WinRAR dump the files into the same folder the the archive was in, it ran perfectly. So I changed the extracted folder name to remove the %20 vars, and it then ran in that folder where it previously didn't.
