Bazaar Explorer fails to launch

[Michael Crain]

I have installed Bazaar for Windows 2.5.1 Standalone. When I try to launch Explorer it fails to launch. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times and still have the same problem. The traceback is immediately below. The complete log from trying to launch is at the bottom. Is this a bug or something else?

As it turns out, there was a bzr .conf (configuration) file left over that was not in the Bazaar directory. After finding and deleting it, bzr explorer now launches fine.
I searched on *bzr*.* to find the .conf file after uninstalling bzr.

Thanks for the feedback !

Do you still have that bogus conf file or do you remember what kind of content it had ? That may help understand why it was left around...

Otherwise, I think we could close this bug.

371Hello, Vincent:
Thanks for your message. Unfortunately, I didn't look at the conf file's contents and have deleted it.

I am not sure if it is the same error but I get a window with the message "ParseError: Invalid line at line "1"." This happens for explorer or anything else I try to launch from windows explorer. I don't get a full trace, just a small window with the message. I found that I had a qbzr.conf file that seems to be junk. If I remove it then every works and a new (text) file is created.

I think I noticed after updating to 2.5.1. I think I installed the new one without uninstalling the old one.
