Unable to launch WinSCP: "Master password handler not set"

Hi

I was using the V5.24 on a Win7/64b plateform. It works well. So does the V5.25, with one disturbing exception.

If I make an empty winscp.ini file with V5.24, with one sftp entry, and protect it with a password, the V5.25 will use it without problems.
But with my current INI file, which has 40-50 entries and folders:
- no password: no protection, but no problems: the V5.25 loads it correctly
- with a master password, whichever it is: the V5.25 fails with the message: "Master password handler not set"

How can I help you without giving my INI file?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards.

Thanks for your report.
I have sent you an email with a debug version of WinSCP to address you have used to register on this forum.

I am also seeing this after upgrading. Possible related items -

1) I downloaded and started the upgrade while WinSCP was running and received the "close WinSCP and continue" message (which I did).

2) I do not think that the master password was typically requested on startup of WinSCP (rather not until I tried connecting to something that required it).

3) Now, I simply cannot start WinSCP - I just get the message and it exits after clicking OK.

Let me know if there is a work-around or fix.
