Bug: Crashes when saving to registry

Open neil-s opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

When I click on 'Clean up', or make deletions and then click 'Save', the editor immediately crashes. I just installed this tool because I messed up my path with setx, and want to clean it up even if I can't recover the deleted portion.

Running v1.7, on Windows 10. Issue arises whether I run the editor as Administrator or not. Thanks for all your work developing this tool though!

UPDATE: I removed some invalid entries from my Paths (system and user) using the default Windows dialog. Since then, this path editor is working fine. Specifically, the two invalid entries were an incomplete path (eg "C\Progr") and "%PATH%". I bet it was the second one that was causing the issue, unless it was the sheer length of the path that was the issue.
