Game Crash on start up

I have Gal.Civ. II: Gold Edition installed on my computer. If I start the game from launch it works fine, but I'm trying to start a game with cheats enabled so I can test some things. But when I use the GC2DarkAvatar.exe instead of the launch .exe it just crashes without starting up.

Any ideas?

Please go to C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2 (or wherever you installed the game at), open the debug.err file you find there in notepad, and copy/paste the contents into a post here. If this is a DA report, you'll find the debug in C:\Program Files\Stardock\Totalgaming\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar instead. This will give us some technical information that can help troubleshoot your problem.

Be sure to copy the debug immediately after the error occurs; if you start the game again, the debug will be erased and recreated for the new session.

Note: If running on Vista with DA 1.6b2 or later, the debug.err is now located in My Documents\My Games\GC2DarkAvatar.

I reinstalled it. The shortcut I had was still causing it to crash, but the start in wasn't also pointing at DarkAvatar like the target which was causing it to crash.
So I made a new shortcut and it works.
