About / Info:
MVMS is a powerful piece of software that allows you to switch between different versions of Minecraft. MVMS can also be used to save Mods you have installed into your .minecraft folder.

FAQ: Q: I found a bug, what do I do? A: Please reply in this thread and make sure you type what you did and if you can make it happen again.
Q: Is MVMS distributing past copies of Minecraft? A: No, MVMS only works if you have Minecraft installed and only contains Mod Profiles defined by the user.
This is happening because the program is looking in a very specific directory for a .minecraft folder. It basically says...
Is there a folder existing called ".minecraft" with the directory called "*\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft" with * being your home directory for your PC? If there isn't, then don't run the program, but if there is then this person has Minecraft installed and we'll be able to function.
So the problem is the program is not finding a .minecraft folder within your "\AppData\Roaming\".
Can you go to your .minecraft folder --> right click --> properties --> and copy and paste the "Location" of your .minecraft folder.
Thanks, Jared

This is the location of my .minecraft folder.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data.
There really is a .minecraft folder because I can play minecraft 1.2.4.
If there was no .minecraft folder, I wouldn't be able to use it I guess.
Im using windows XP, not windows 2007, if that might make a difference.
Thanks again, Jasper
Jasper, I have figured out the issue!
The reason this is happening is because I was specifically looking at a directory intended for Windows 7 and because you are on XP it is not finding the correct folder.
I already have a fix for it and I will release an update that will work for XP in the next few days!
EDIT: UPDATED! Please let me know if the XP bug is fixed!
I have this anti-virus program that keeps deleting the downloaded file. It's called Norton. Do you think that there is there any way that I could get around this? This looks like a useful program and I would love to use it.
Sorry for the late reply Vat_King. I don't really have a solution for you, I'd suggest you make an exception in your anti virus software to trust the program.
