Witty crashes when opening Options dialog #123

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login to Vista x64 PC as a non-admin user.
2. Run Witty from the installer-created Start Menu shortcut.
3. Login to Witty and click Options

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

Expect to see Options dialog but instead Witty crashes hard.

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

Using Witty 0.1.7 Beta 1 on Vista x64 as a non-admin user.

Please provide any additional information below.

The problem does not occur as an administrator. According to the exception 
stacktrace the problem is in the SkinManager. It looks for skin files 
below the current directory, incorrectly assuming the current directory is 
the application folder. However, the installer-created shortcut for Witty 
does not specify the Start In location so the current directory is 
different. The exception occurs because the SkinManager is trying to list 
files in the system32\config folder which a non-admin user on Vista cannot 
access. The SkinManager should not assume that the current directory is 
the app directory.

Applied patch and tested. Skin loading continues to work for me. Asked 
@jstangroome 
to verify the fix as well.
