Opening Site Manager causes crash

[Ben]

I am currently running FileZilla 3.1.5.1 but this issue has been happening on previous versions as well. When I try to open the site manager (either from the File Menu, toolbar icon, or CTRL+S shortcut) FileZilla crashes. The Vista crash information is as follows:

I am able to use the rest of the application but just can't have saved sites. If there is any further information that you would like I'd be happy to update the incident.

Can you access the sites through the dropdown arrow next to the sitemanager icon in the toolbar?

[Ben]

Currently I do not have any sites in the site manager so I cannot access any sites through the dropdown arrow.

However I used to have sites in the site manager (sites that I added a long time ago) but they disappeared when I blew away my app data trying to see if it was something related to my profile that was causing the crash. At that time I could still use any sites in the dropdown.

So it still crashes even though you deleted all the settings files?

[Ben]

That is correct. It still crashes even though I've deleted the following folders and everything in them:

C:\Program Files\FileZilla FTP Client
C:\Users\bepratt\AppData\Roaming\FileZilla

Worked with codesquid IRC to determine the problem was related to Vista storing some stale .xrc files in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\

I deleted the directories "FileZilla Client" and "FileZilla FTP Client" stored in that directory, installed FileZilla 3.1.5.1 and everything is working once again.
