Yes, the compiled app launches fine.

I think I see the problem.

In 1.x I passed a variant to Valentina, which was clever enough to 
figure it out:

prefsDB.prefs.Field(fldToUpdate).SetString(updateInfo) //updateInfo 
is a variant

Now, when I pass it a string of numbers, it seems to store only half 
the data, each byte being preceded by a null byte (I assume it's 
UTF-16).

So, in 2.0, do I need to convert the variant to it's correct type 
before storing it in a Valentina database? Or is this something 
you'll be fixing (it's convenient, of course, to have Valentina do 
the conversion for you, but easy to work around if you're not going 
to change the current 2.x behavior).
