Raptor launch error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch Raptor
2. Click "OK" confirming "English" as the preferred language.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Raptor should display, even if preferences failed to save.
Instead, a NullPointerException is logged to .raptor\logs\error.log (attached).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system and
what environment?
Raptor .98u3f5 64-bit on Windows Vista Home Premuim 64-bit with SP2.

Please provide any additional information below.
At the moment I don't care if my preferences are saved, I just want to launch 
Raptor.  Also, the error log doesn't indicate how the error happened.

Could you try to run raptor as an administrator (by right clicking and choosing 
the respective option)? Also check whether the directory 
Raptor\resources\themes contains any files.

Thanks.  While looking into the resources\themes I discovered that Raptor 
64-bit wrongly got installed under "C:\Program Files (x86)" instead of 
"C:\Program Files".  I reinstalled it in the correct directory which fixed my 
problem.

FYI, the installer recommends installing Raptor 64-bit in "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Raptor".  Maybe I should open a separate issue for this.

I'll review the problem during the next release of windows packages (I will try 
to do it fairly soon).
