Anybody ever get this problem trying to run OOTP?

For some history on this:
I changed my custom data path to a subfolder under ''My Documents' instead of leaving it under the OOTP install path. I ran and played several games after I did this successfully, multiple times on different days after rebooting.

I went to run it today and got the attached error message.
Any ideas?

It appears it needs the data folder to exist under the OOTP installation folder, even after you move the data folder to a different location. It is ok if the old data folder is empty though.
