Attempting to obfuscate any of my assemblies (.exe or .dll) with the default methods gives this:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at \\u15.\\u19\\u3.\\u145()
   at \\u15.\\u19\\u3.3()
   at \\u19.\\u6.\\u19(Project , \\u18 , \\u19\\u3 )
   at \\u19.\\u6.\\u19(Project )

Which makes it difficult to evaluate

    I tried uninstalling, wiping, downloading and reinstalling and the command-line obfuscator still isn't working:
    C:\\Program Files\\9Rays.Net\\SpicesNet5\\Bin>NRObfuscator.exe /SRC=\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v2.0.50727\\System.configuration.dll

    You have incorrectly specified \\SRC parameter (incorrect path: \\WINDOWS\\...., you can use absolute or relative paths, in case of relative paths - these paths should be relative to NRObfuscator.exe location),
    please use following command line:
    C:\\Program Files\\9Rays.Net\\SpicesNet5\\Bin\\NRObfuscator.exe /SRC=C:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v2.0.50727\\System.configuration.dll

    We'll correct validation of input in the nearest Spices.Net update.
    btw - more flexible way to use 5.0 console obfuscator - obfuscation of Spices.Project. You can create Spices.Project in Spices.Net GUI (registered console version provide special uitlity OptionsGUI.exe to manage Spices.Project's) and use following command line to obfuscate Spices.Project:
    NRObfuscator.exe /SRC=yourSpicesProject.iloprj

    Adding the drive specifier as suggested performs an obfuscation, but then crashes like this:
    ----End of obfuscation C:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v2.0.50727\\System.configuration.dll ------------
    Total obfuscated members 1859
    Finish time:09:00:28
    Finish obfuscating project.
    Verification of assemblies:
    Verification exception:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
    Stack trace:   at \\u6.\\u13\\u12.\\u135()
       at \\u6.\\u13\\u12.\\u6(\\u15\\u6 )
       at \\u6.\\uf\\u10.\\u6(String[] , \\u15\\u6 , \\u12 )
       at \\u6.\\ue\\u11.6\\u5.\\u6(String[] , \\u15\\u6 , \\u12 )
       at 1.\\u18.1(Project )

    Unfortunately, I don't have any more time to spend on this, but I hope the stack trace is helpful.

    This assembly has incorrect metadata, tow classes have been marked as Nested but have namespaces, this there was reason of exception:
    [MD] Error: TypeDef: System.Configuration.ConfigurationValues+ConfigurationElementsCollection+GetEnumerator>d__0 is marked Nested but has namespace: [MD] Error: TypeDef: System.Configuration.ConfigurationValues+InvalidValuesCollection+GetEnumerator>d__4 is marked Nested but has namespace:

    We've improved our verification procedure to recognize incorrectly declared nested types.
