-TC8.51b2 FirstTime=1 if [Configuration] not at end of ini

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Sounds like your wincmd.ini was somehow damaged: Maybe you had stored it as UTF-8 with notepad.exe, then the first section will not work because of the byte order marker (BOM) at the beginning: The Windows ini functions will not see e.g.
[Configuration]
but
[Configuration]

The ini functions only work with ANSI or UTF-16 Unicode, so please save your wincmd.ini as UTF-16 Unicode.

2alphonse68: Like Ghisler said, your wincmd.ini file is probably in UTF-8 format with BOM.

Checked the Registry and found the values for FtpIniName, IniFileName, and InstallDir had changed to the default for New installations, %AppData%\Ghisler\... in both Current_User and Local_Machine.
Did you choose Update or did you install in the same folder? I cannot confirm when choosing Update. Even when I put "[configuration]" on top in my wincmd.ini and save as UTF8 with BOM.
