Looks like your configuration file has corrupted. You can fix it by removing it and restarting.

Before removing it, I would be interested to see the contents of especially line 10 which it is complaining about.

The file is this one:
C:\Users\DF1M\AppData\Local\ATVO\ATVO.ThemeEditor.exe_Url_20i5peym24lqputaulqenl1rj5c1ta5k\1.0.0.0\user.config


I now have the same crash plaguing me. Surprise Windows update yesterday (NOT Windows 11) right before a broadcast has seemed to be the causing factor. Since this update, I cannot open the Editor, and am met with the same message as Dirk.

I've already uninstalled and reinstalled ATVO, to no avail. The crash persists.

Reinstalling ATVO is not the answer, the answer is to remove the config file and restart theme editor, see my original message.

Gotcha! I misunderstood!

That said, this also has not fixed the crash. I've now deleted the config file and restarted the editor, and it still gives the same crash.
