Dual instances of PyScripter - "No Python Engine was created" Access Violation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I wanted to make PyScripter the default program to open XML files, while I 
already had an instance of PyScripter running.
2. I went ahead and did so and it tried to open PyScripter again while that 
other instance was already running.  
3. I got an Access Violation but this time it also said "No Python Engine was 
created."

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should have just opened the file in the already open instance of PyScripter 
instead of trying to run a new instance

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using PyScripter 2.4.5 x64 on 64bit Windows 7.

Please provide any additional information below.
This bug is easily reproducible by trying to get two instances of PyScripter 
running at the same time.
