A recent issue prevents Propeller Tool from fully loading. The problem is a complicated one apparently involving the order of events and memory accesses that seems to happen on some systems and not on others; however, often a workaround is to delete the Propeller Tool's registry settings and let it rebuild them from defaults.
This issue is a reminder to add a /ClearSettings command-line option to Propeller Tool.
This allows the user to solve the problem more easily themselves (should it continue, or a similar issue happen in future versions)
This allows the uninstaller to effectively provide a "clear Propeller Tool's registry settings" option and to execute it if chosen
Since Propeller Tool creates and manages its own settings (not the installer), this feature would be added to Propeller Tool because it already knows exactly what settings it manages; whereas a different version my be using a different set of settings
This feature should run minimal code, without initializing the full Propeller Tool application, so as to be usable even when normal operation crashes (because of an errant setting)
This feature can provide a dialog explaining what it's about to do and how it may affect other simultaneously-installed versions- perhaps even offering an option to back up current settings first in case the user later wants to revert back to previous settings
