bmp over-written by preferences file?

[BoomerET]

I'm working on a new ruleset, and right in the middle while doing a CRTL-R, it tells me there's a corrupt bmp.

treeview_expanded.bmp

Now no matter what ruleset I open, I get an error.

This file resides here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Hero Lab\product\builtin

I've never touched those files, yet the treeview_expanded.bmp is now a text file with this first few lines...

Easy enough to remedy with a reinstall, but how on earth did this happen?

EDIT: Bug report submitted

I reinstalled HL and the issue was fixed.

However, just a few minutes ago it happened again, but this time to the file forbidden_up.bmp

Strange things are afoot.

Hi there,

Thanks for reporting this, and sorry you're having problems with Hero Lab! I'll take a look at your support case and get back to you there.

I'm gonna chalk this one up to a corrupt PC.

It's my work computer and it's getting old. I don't see the problem on any of my other machines.

Sorry to have bothered the Wolves.
