Phhh... just saw this one. Yes, good one... this is, for lack of a better description, a "progression" in Windows 7 (as opposed to a regression...).

W7 contains a fix for the age-old issue in the GetPrivateProfileString() API that it never sets the error code as documented in the specifications.

In theory, I could make KiX act on W7 like it was on XP, and drop the error code on the floor, but that does not sound like the right thing to do.

So, yes, this is an unexpected side-effect when running KiX on Windows 7, and I suggest to handle it in the scripts where appropriate.

Thanks for the report!
