What is MapUtility?
MapUtility is a set of tools that allows you to edit the maps of HoI, Victoria, and CK.

MapUtility consists of four parts.
MapViewer allows viewing of the map.
MapExtractors allows for extraction of the map into image files, to allow user editing.
MapMaker takes the edited extracted images and puts them back into the map files.
ObjectEditor makes moving objects (army sprites, ports, etc.) around easier.

I don't know if i is here that I'm allowed to post, but anyway.. What exactly are the Gamepath in the settings supposed to be for Victoria?
If to run Victoria you open C:\Program Files\Victoria\victoria.exe then the GamePath would be C:\Program Files\Victoria (BTW, this info is in the comments above the GamePath entry)
