Upgraded my Pro version of viewer to V7 today. Now getting an unending cycle of errors (have to terminate process, sometimes have to reboot workstation).
Issue seems to stem from address books. If I do not copy over my address book groups and create a new entry from scratch no issue, copy one of the .xml files and the error/crash occurs.
"send report" doesn't work, copy button works but I can just as easily grab the log file from the event log folder.

Hello Mike,
Thank you for your message.
Am I right in assuming that your Viewer was updated from version 6.10.10.0 or was it an older version?
As for the current issue with Viewer - please try uninstalling Viewer completely as described in this full uninstallation guide and then re-installing it from scratch to see if the issue persists. Before uninstallation please locate and copy the following files:
1. config_4.xml file in the folder C:\Users\[Your_username]\AppData\Roaming\Remote Utilities Files\ which stores Viewer's configuration settings.
2. One of the most recent backups of your address book in the backup folder \%AppData%\Roaming\Remote Utilities Files\backups\.
After you've re-installed Viewer from scratch, try pasting the configuration file to the same location and restoring your adder book from a backup as described here.
Please let me know if the issue persists.

Yes it was both in place upgrade from the very latest v6 (6.12b) I and also uninstall and re-install of v7. The error persisted, even when running the portable viewer.
Pulling the address xml files from backup would reproduce the error. If I deleted the separate address books and the connections xml the program would not produce the error.
Allowing plain vanilla config and connection xml files would allow the program to run, I applied my new v7 lic key and manually created all of my entries. no issues since doing that, but burned up a bunch of time dealing with this so probably won't test v7 much more this week, unless I absolutely need to use RU to access my remote hosts.

Hello Mike,
Thank you for the clarification.
Seems that you were correct in your original post and the issue is caused by something in the address book file. I'll forward the issue description and the error log you've provided to our developers and will ask for their input on this.
I'll get back to you with an update from them as soon as possible.
