Previous Behavior
Policy file paths were not verified for exists, which could lead to exceptions when attempting to write policy data.
decimal/longDecimal types with storeAsText set could throw an exception due to data conversion normally used to store decimal/longDecimal values in the registry.pol file
an exception would be thrown when no startup/shutdown script INI file exists.
New Behavior
policy file paths are verified for existence before attempting to open/edit
data conversion on storeAsText admx policies is properly handled
startup/shutdown script ini files are verified to exist before attempting to read
