|    Build 369 *WARNING*    |

      MSGID: 2:240/1120.29 ed41a801       CHRS: IBMPC 2       TZUTC: 0100       Dear All,              As it turned out, that version contains a bug that causes the location of the       configuration information in the registry to change while the configuration is       read. As a result, Version 369 will fail to read half of the configuration and       afterwards store ALL configuration information DIRECTLY under HK       Y_CURRENT_USER rather than (as intended) under the respective WinPoint Key in       the Software section. Afterwards, it will continue to use the new location and       thuss work essentiall as intended. However, that location is wrong and the       fixed version will again read from the correct location.               *Thus I strongly recommend _not to use Version 369_. I will provide an updated       test version very shortly that does not have this issue*              Good news: The *old configuration information is still there. So the next       version of WP can still use it*.               Sorry for the inconvenience       Tim              PS: It is actuall version 369, not build 360 (adding to the confusion) ;)              >-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-<       > Diese Nachricht wurde _weitergeleitet_!

There must be one "old" setting that causes the       issue on first start, that is overwritten by valid (new) data on exit so it       never pops up again.
