GBPVR crashing after config.xml edit

[ingesol]

I upgraded to 92.11 today. It seemed to work okay, so I decided to check out the ForceHighPriorityRecordingService setting in config.xml. After editing config.xml with windows notepad, the app won't start anymore. I've tried using both wordpad and textpad to edit the file, tried saving the file in lots of different encodings, including UTF-8. I'm pretty sure there is nothing wrong with my xml.

The error I've managed to copy is viewed in a .NET framework dialog when trying to start GBPVRTray.exe:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just in time (JIT) debugging, the config file for this
application or machine (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the machine
rather than being handled by this dialog.

The only change I made in the xml was from false to true for the priority setting.

[reven]

what does Line 164 say?

[stefan]

Does it work if you put false back in there?

[ingesol]

I'll check later today if I can find the line. It does not help to put false back, I've tried putting false back in a lot of different encodings using textpad. Right now it's UTF-8. Maybe the encoding is a wrong place to look, maybe I've just put some bad syntax in the XML by accidentally touching some key.

[stefan]

Sounds to me you've managed to put some "bad" character in there, some character that wordpad/notepad can't handle showing. My advice is download emacs and view it there. emacs will show most characters, if not all.

[ingesol]

There actually was a couple of ',' characters in tags at the specified lines. Stupid me didn't even bother to look, I didn't think the error message was that good

Thanks for the help, guys, I'll try to get smarter in the future.
