Applet crash at startup about radio-paradise-song-notification HOT 7 CLOSED

The function throwing the error tries to read and parse the config.ini file but fails to do it. There is no sign that the VPN client is involved in the error. I assume that the config file initialization fails in the first place. Please check if the following file exists after running the exe:
c:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\RP_Notify\config.ini
If the file is missing then please try to execute the application as administrator.

Fast reply on the crash:

• there is config.ini on the PC, on the expected path, having EnableLoggingToFile=true
• the VPN client has not been started
• RP_Notify v1.0 and RP_Notify v1.1 are stored into the same folder
• each one executable has been renamed as RP_Notify.exe, when running the below tests
• 4 startup scenarios have been tested - regular run and run as admin, both from Windows Explorer and Start menu
• RP_Notify v1.1 crashes on all 4 scenarios, there is not a single entry into log.txt
• RP_Notify v1.0 starts on any scenario and writes as expected into log.txt 
  The VPN client is no more a suspect, I am out of other ideas, for now.
  RP_Notify v1.0 is able to read and parse the config.ini file.

Sorry for mistakenly closing the issue. :)

Found the problem:
A new feature (Prompt user for song rating) has a new configuration entry. When the config file is missing then it's created with the default values but if a configuration value is missing then it causes an unhandled exception. In this case, the old config file is missing the entry for the added feature.

There is 2 way to solve this:

• add the line PromptForRating=False to the config.ini file under the section [AppSettings]
• delete the config.ini file which will re-initialize it with the default values

This bug will be fixed in the next release.

The new config line does the trick. Haven't tried the second option.
Have installed VS on my local computer meantime, in order to debug the applet.
It errors on line 194, when parsing for the PromptForRating key.
Next time will be easier to locate the exception. :)
