Fail to startup #358

Closed dbreesesbtc closed 5 years ago

dbreesesbtc commented 6 years ago

Possibly similar to #313. Using version 3.3.0.

When trying to start Todotxt.net via any icon or shortcut, nothing happens. In the Windows Event Log, I see an error event from source ".NET Runtime" with the following content:

Application: todotxt.exe

Things tried:

Note: Using todotxt.net portable version from the .zip file (rather than the installed version), works fine.

Once I find the config file, I will try deleting/re-creating it, and see if that resolves the issue.

Update: Issue resolved by deleting the file C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Hughesoft\todotxt.exe_Url_deohloj10g3ymcl1jrl30n5xr0gg34rs\3.3.0.0\user.config.

Now todotxt.net starts up as normal (and upon startup, it appears to have re-generated the deleted file).

It looks like the file had gotten corrupted by an unclean shutdown.

Leaving this issue open, since it might be desirable to have the program produce a user-facing error message when it hits a malformed or corrupted config file.
