Crash when attempting to "set up associations..."

VLC 2.2.0 crashes 100% of the time when attempting to "set up associations...".

This has been tested on two separate Win 7 machines with the same results.

Repro steps:

  • Start VLC
  • Menu Tools|Preferences
  • There is a "set up associations..." at the bottom right corner of the "Interface" tab of the Simple Preferences dialog box. Click on it.
  • You get a message box saying:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.


OK

  • Press OK.
  • The program either ends abruptly or becomes unresponsive.
