Ok...
So after spending about 1+ hour installing SQL Express server (which involves 4 other installation packages and at least 2 reboots), EMMA gives me an error that I installed 2008 and not 2005, and that EMMA will now close (but it doesn't), attempting to create an account doesn't work and clicking in the main window (buttons or just on the grey surface) randomly throws "Directory not found" exceptions and freezes the program for 10-15 seconds.
I do a bit of programming myself so I'm not exactly clueless here, but the effort apparently required to install this is approaching linux levels for me...
I'll check in again when I've installed SQL server 2005, which hopefully should not take more than an hour or so!
EDIT: And it's impossible to quit the application, pressing the "Quit" button throws a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." exception and proceeds to not... quit.

I'm using Vista 64Bit with SQL 2008 64Bit and everything appears to be 100% correct. The only issue I've seen so far is the oddness in the asset report for one particular station.
How did you accomplish that? I tried (by accident) and it spammed me with dozens of errors all suggesting that 2008 was utterly incompatible in every way with this application.

I could now create a report group, and most things I tried seem to work, but making a asset report got me an exception:
System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal)
at System.Number.ParseSingle(String value, NumberStyles options, NumberFormatInfo numfmt)
at System.Single.Parse(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info)
at EveMarketMonitorApp.DatabaseClasses.ReportGroupSettings.FontFromString(String fontInfo)
at EveMarketMonitorApp.GUIElements.ViewReport.InitStyles()
And the window looks like this:

EDIT: This happens on all reports.

Try going into Settings->Report Style Settings and changing the fonts. This will probably give you the same error that you're getting currently, however, there's a chance it'll work.
Either way, I'll get a fix out for this issue ASAP.
Edit - The default font it uses is Arial, I thought all Windows machines had this by default but it's worth checking if yours does not (should be in Windows/Fonts). If you don't have it, you can download it from plenty of places, just type 'Arial Font Download' into google.
Trying to change fonts gives me the same message (and no font dialog). And yes, I most definitely have arial, and yes, it's a standard windows typeface. Deleting it will break a hilariously large number of things  .

Why do you even need SQL Express? Why not store information on a file? This just reduces the need to install more program to support EMMA.
It certainly needs some kind of database rather than a flat file. I have getting on for 1 million transaction and journal records now and believe me, running some of the reports on that much data without SQL to do the heavy lifting would be a nightmare.
Have you considered using SQLite to make setup easier for users?
