crashes when db.ini copied to userdb.ini and then AppSnapGui launched

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. copy C:\Program Files\AppSnap\db.ini to userdb.ini in the same directory
2. launch AppSnapGui

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It is expected that AppSnapGui will launch as usual. Instead there is a
long error in a box:

A fatal exception has occurred. Please report this bug to the AppSnap issue
tracker: http://code.google.com/p/appsnap/issues/entry. Sorry for the
inconvenience.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
AppSnapGui 1.3.3 on Windows Vista Ultimate.

Please provide any additional information below.
UAC is turned off. Problem goes away if I delete userdb.ini

Unable to reproduce with latest version of db.ini.

Uninstalled AppSnap and deleted C:\Program Files\AppSnap
Installed AppSnap.
New update detected. Updated.
Created blank userdb.ini in C:\Program Files\AppSnap and opened AppSnap -- no 
crash
Copied and pasted the 7-Zip section from C:\Program Files\AppSnap\db.ini into
C:\Program Files\AppSnap\userdb.ini and opened AppSnap -- no crash
Copied and pasted entire contents of C:\Program Files\AppSnap\db.ini into a 
clean
C:\Program Files\AppSnap\userdb.ini -- crash (previously I had just copied in 
Explorer)

Deleted userdb.ini and all copies of db.ini and repeated the experiment with
identical results.

Then...

Removed [GTK+] section from userdb.ini -- no more crash!!!!

The clue was the %2B at the bottom of the error message

How exactly are you doing the copy? Are there two % in both files? If not then 
the
.INI parser crashes. This is an issue if both files have two % in the version 
field
for GTK+.

I did the copy two ways with the same result:

From Windows Explorer, I copied the file db.ini, and pasted and renamed the 
copy to
userdb.ini.

I also opened up db.ini in Notepad++ and did Ctrl-A Ctrl-C to copy all, then 
opened
up userdb.ini and did Ctrl-A Ctrl-V to paste all overwriting the contents. 

Either way, the result was the same. I'll try again making sure I have a clean
install and see if I get the same.

I haven't really gotten this error with "real" userdb.ini files, so probably a 
non-
issue.
