6 years ago Rats!
I just be getting old.
The tdh.ini file should not have been deployed with the release and that is where your problems started a my locations differ from yours. The second error was because there were no ships in your new ini.

6 years ago That's not it.
If I delete tdh.ini and then run TDH, I get the exact same error after it asks for python.exe.
I point it at the file, then it borks out with your custom error message , logging as always Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
The only way to have it run clean (or at all) is to have a magically prepared and correct tdh.ini from the get go.

6 years ago Well, to be fair it was, but not having any ships in the list caused a another error that I didn't see. Strangely in certain parts of the start sequence exceptions get invisibly ignored. They just disappear.
Still, I've released v2.0.3.5-Beta and tried it on two different PCs both with and without ini files and TDHelper.db files and I've not had an exception.
When you have a moment please would you check it over and see if I really have fixed it this time.
Thanks.

6 years ago Seems to be fine now. I'll keep an eye on future releases :)
Worse, because instead of the Continue/Quit dialogue allowing me to continue - I get the newly created error trap and it doesn't have a continue, so I'm stuck.
This is always immediately after asking for my python.exe which is sensibly @ C:\Program Files\Python36\python.exe
When I edit tdh.ini by hand and give it my python path it skips that and asks for my trade.py, before barfing out in the same manner.
And indeed for every file it could not initially find, it would barf until I manually put them into tdh.ini, after which, presumably because it could actually find the said files - it carried on.
Finally, after editing all the files in - well, it still wouldn't start.
I do note that the shipped tdh.ini had all your paths and cmdr information in, which I don't suppose helped.
So, I gave up. Unpacked the previous version, used that to make a tdh.ini which worked. Then unzipped the new version, this time being careful NOT to overwrite the correct and working tdh. ini and got the below exception - from which I was able to continue and then the app came up fine.
As before, once I had it running once, I didn't have any problems on subsequent invocations of the app.
See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
