  • Copy utorrent.exe of an affected build (see below) to %appdata%\utorrent
  • Create a settings.dat file in %appdata%\utorrent with the following content (or use the attached file)

  • Press the escape key if an installer dialog box (e.g. "Please choose your language") appears
  • Open the preferences page

Expected Behavior

Environment

Comments

  • I suspect that this crash is related to the antivirus component failing to load. Build 41372, which is not affected, downloads the antivirus component upon launch ("upgrading to pro"), the antivirus component is installed, and accordingly the crash does not occur.
  • Build 41628 shows "µTorrent (Ad-free)" in the title bar, build 41372 shows "µTorrentPro"
  • Clicking OK in the preferences window has lead to a crash on every launch of build 41628 after upgrading from build 41372.
  • Hijackthis report, Process Explorer report, crashdump, etc. available on request
