Hi for "Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B" error when you click connect i have the solution.
This error come on 64BIT OS only, when the .exe isn't flaged to run into 32BIT mode it runs it in 64 Bit mode.
You have to force the .exe in 32BIT with Corflags.
I made it and it works now fine on my windows 7 64Bit, good luck
