Munki2 Opens but stays blank

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open application and check log and the log states that Managed Software is 
checking for updates and finishes the update run.  The GUI app however says 
"Checking for additional changes."
2. After closing and reopening it, Managed Software Center remains blank and 
does not check for updates.  Log does not show a check for updates.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Unfortunately I don't see anything as Managed Software Update remains blank.

What version of the Munki tools/InstallOSpkg tools are you using? On what
version of OS X?
2.0.0.1965

Please provide any additional information below.

There's really not enough information here to begin to attempt to reproduce the 
issue. Until/unless more info becomes available, either from the original issue 
reporter, or other people, this is likely to remain in the "New" state.

 vReceived this today when attempting to run Managed Software Center.  I received the error "Update Check Failed" with the accompanying message:  There is a configuration problem with the managed software installer.  The process ended unexpectedly.  Contact your System Administrator.

However when checking the ManagedSoftwareUpdate.log the actual check for 
updates completed without issue.  After examining the system.log I saw the 
errors attached.

I am going to attempt to downgrade to Munki 1 and attempt to reupgrade to the 
newest build on Munkibuilds.org.  I will let you know the results.

Performed Reinstall of Munki 1, Ran Managed Software Update which worked fine 
and then reinstalled the latest build of Munki 2.  Continued to receive errors 
and cleared the cache in the user folder which also did not solve the problem.  
Please let me know if you need additional information.

Could you please take a look at the generated HTML files in 
~/Library/Caches/com.googlecode.munki.ManagedSoftwareCenter/html ?

If you cannot make sense of them, please attach them to this issue.

There are no generated html files.  The only items in the folder are symbolic 
links to icons and static.  Even checked for hidden files.  Are there files 
from the static folder you may need?

OK, then the HTML parser is choking on a description for one of the items in 
InstallInfo.plist. Can you attach /Library/Managed Installs/InstallInfo.plist?

Original comment by gregnea...@mac.com on 31 Mar 2014 at 5:03

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Here is the /Library/Managed Installs/InstallInfo.plist

• Changed state: Fixed

Issue is triggered by invalid HTML in the description for Evernote. MSC.app 
will no longer raise an unhandled exception for that situation.

Next up (which I may leave as an exercise for the issue originator) -- figuring 
out exactly what the HTML parser doesn't like.

Thanks for finding this.  I will check through the Evernote description and 
figure out what is wrong.  :)
