Fixed: If CAT is unable to hit the CAT home site to check for updates, an error message will be displayed in the CAT log, instead of throwing an exception
Fixed: Multiple changes around loading and saving INI files, the default CE INI files MUST exist as CAT cannot replicate all of the information created in the INI files by default as some of it is custom data to your server.
Changed: If config INI files cannot be found, they are not created. The must have been created by the CE server to begin with.
- Default files must exist

Sorry for all of the hot fixes everyone, I'll work on having a small test group for the future before release.

Fixes an issue with spaces in some of the command line parameters

Fixed: Bad default value for the server EXE file, make sure your Server EXE File setting is set to: ConanSandboxServer.exe

No real new functionality, but fixes most of the bugs people have encountered. You may have to redo your settings and I'll make that work right in the future, but for now, its only a few clicks. Sorry about that, but... things will get better over time. =)
