Unhandled exception at 0x00007FF777FC4C7B in WinMergeU.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation

Hi, wenn I use the Shell Context Menu to compare two Files, WinMergeU is started and also partially renders, but before the application becomes interactive, this exception occurs:
Unhandled exception at 0x00007FF777FC4C7B in WinMergeU.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000010.
I tried it with Versions 2.16.10, .8 and 2.16.12, all yield similar behavior, both in 64 bit and x86 Version.
It works with Version 2.16.0 and 2.16.6 for me, so I have installed 2.16.6

If there's anything I can add, please come back to me...

• Will WinMerge crash regardless of the contents of the files?

• Does it crash when you run WinMergeU.exe from the start menu?

• If it doesn't crash, could you please click the Configuration menu item in the Help menu item and attach the file that appears?
  (If there are lines that contains personal information, delete that lines)
  

• After renaming the following registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Thingamahoochie\WinMerge in regedit.exe, could you see if it crashes when you start WinMerge?

This crash has probably been fixed in commit f6abd30, so I am closing this issue.
