I found 2 errors while using the precompiled portable version of KiTTY

Hello and thanks for this nice software.
I went to use kitty because I want to use it as portable and putty-portable is sometimes giving some issues.

I downloaded the precompiled portable version of KiTTY
and while using it I found 2 errors:

Error: Unable to create the menu launcher directory
upon start of kitty -launcher and also when using the refresh function of the launcher.
Even though it DOES create the Launcher directory when it is absent! ( I have checked that by removing it. )

The other thing is that kitty will crash reproducably in the following situation:
I connect via ssh with setting
PermitRootLogin no
and also:
Match Address
     PermitRootLogin Without-password

So, when on my local network, I AM allowed to login as root. (This works fine.)
When NOT on my local network, the connection is refused and kitty does crash.
In the same case putty ends with:
Putty Fatal Error
Disconnected: No supported authentication methods availlable (server
sent publickey) OK
like normal and does not crash.

I hope this information can be useful and perhaps these can be fixed.

Which version do you use.
Such an issue were fixed in the very last build: 0.67.0.2

Thanks for the quick reply!

I use 0.66.6.3p @ 03/03/2016-21:52:57(NFT)

I will look for the new version and try it out and post my findings here is this post.

I DL the KiTTY 0.67.0.2p @ 21/03/2016-13:51:48(NFT) and I can not reproduce these errors anymore now.
So that is Really Good.

Thanks again and if I find anything else, I will let you know.

All the best,

I still get the error "Unable to create the menu launcher directory" and the launcher directory ends up only half-populated. This is using 0.67.1.1p.
If I delete the Launcher dir and then start kitty it works fine and populates the dir. Then I exit kitty and start it again and I get the error.

Re: "Unable to create the menu launcher directory" it looks like I see the same problem when launching kitty.exe (the non-portable version) with the -convert-reg commandline switch. It only copies half the saved sessions to the registry and crashes with an error "The instruction at 0x7710e5a3 referenced memory at 0x787878ff." (That address looks like characters to me...)
