[regex-coach] An error of type #:|<Dummy Symbol Name>| occured - solution

[Edi Weitz]

Clive,

Thanks for the follow-up.  Yes, removing the registry key would have
sufficed.  Should I ever find the time to make a new release, I'll
make sure that a) the key gets uninstalled together with the
application and that b) files which don't exist anymore don't crash
the program.

Thanks again,
Edi.
