Oh and I just read about the error you got (5-6 messages up).
Silkcoin-QT is now a static linked executable so all you need is the exe, nothing else! No need for all the files you're showing.
And the error you got comes from a corrupted blockchain so yes deleting the contents of appdata/silkcoin (except the wallet!) was indeed the good solution

.
I'm commenting just so you know the exe can be put anywhere alone, it will still work since it's static.
