Dmod folder names from what I can tell cannot contain spaces, for one thing. Its better to abbreviate your Dmod name for the folder in some cases (e.g, Dink versus Cast could be abbreviated to dvc).

Another is that some Windows versions have admin restrictions for stuff editing the Program Files directory, and Dmods get installed in Username/Appdata/Roaming/Dink Smallwood, though I'm not sure if that affects Dmodding too much. Once you've got the Dmod directory you're making and everything working from C:/Program Files/Dink Smallwood it should be able to run properly.

Plus 2 is a new version though, so there may still be a few bugs, so if you can provide more details it might get a patch to help you/others if theres an actual bug in the program giving you trouble. Otherwise it may just be directory issues, as stated above.
