Just another thing that might help debug.  I downloaded version 1.01 on a whim 
and it works perfectly fine.  No errors and configurations are saved properly.

Awesome program btw.  Finally a backup utility that restores with a click.  My 
3yo plays on my worlds all the time so i was constantly manually making zips of 
my worlds and restoring them each time i wanted to play.

Interesting, I've done all development and testing on Windows 7 x64 (two 
separate machines in fact).

"Could not set the specified value" would be from the error check I do after 
every INIFile.SetValue() call. So it is an error writing to the settings.ini 
file.

What level of user are you logged in as when it happens? The program is built 
to run "As invoker" so whatever rights you have as a user will be assigned to 
the program, but since it stores everything in %AppData% (the Roaming profile) 
it shouldn't need anything special.

Can you check what access permissions are set for %AppData%\Minecraft Backup 
Tool\settings.ini? Does the file exist? Can you edit it manually?

(Thanks for the report!)

Ah -- I've been able to reproduce this by renaming %AppData%\Minecraft Backup 
Tool to something else.

I know what I did -- I accidentally removed the line to create the folder if it 
doesn't exist when I refactored the INI save/load code.

My apologies! I'll get a fix up asap.
