Just installed Cobian Reflector. Don't understand why a non-fatal error causes the engine to close. Here's snippets from the log files:

Informative messages should NOT stop processing.

Is the program running as an application? Are you using the -autoclose command line parameter?

I took all the defaults on the install, so whatever the defaults are, is what I used.

The default is installing as an application yes, but this should not close the engine (unless you are running another instance somehow).
