************** JIT-Debuggen **************
Um das JIT-Debuggen (Just-In-Time) zu aktivieren, muss in der
Konfigurationsdatei der Anwendung oder des Computers
(machine.config) der jitDebugging-Wert im Abschnitt system.windows.forms 
festgelegt werden.
Die Anwendung muss mit aktiviertem Debuggen kompiliert werden.

Zum Beispiel:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

Wenn das JIT-Debuggen aktiviert ist, werden alle nicht behandelten
Ausnahmen an den JIT-Debugger gesendet, der auf dem
Computer registriert ist, und nicht in diesem Dialogfeld behandelt.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

latest here available on a german Windows 7 x64 with SP1 installed.

Patch to fix this issue included.  Looks like 
Application.UserAppDataRegistry.GetValue("key") can be null; the patch simply 
lets the program continue, although you will need to enter a key to get valid 
auth codes.

Okay. Thank you for providing me with an patch. But I've downloaded it as 
binary file and can not apply your patch. Are you able to recompile it? Or how 
can I compile it for myself after checking out the svn?

Also, for upcoming releases, it would be nice you could support more than just 
one account.

The Dev seems to be a very busy man. ;-)

Have you tried to skip the error message and to enter your token? I noticed, 
that this error was gone after the first usage of this application.

And always keep your .NET Framework up to date.

Create a reg string key under 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GoogleAuth\GoogleAuth\1.0.0.0 called key. This will 
enable the app to start without error.

Start the app, ignore the error (continue), rightclick the icon, modify key and 
then enter the secure private key from the app here. From then on, the app will 
be usable.
