Error description
Installed the latest PCOM 6.0.2.0 on a Win7 image. It seems like there is a change in the way PCOM reads the pcswin.ini file. We have [View1] Description=Startup defined in the pcswin.ini file. We use the "start-up.bch" file to launch the PCOM sessions. If [LastExitView] exists in the pcswin.ini, PCOM seems to ignore the defined "Startup" view and it also launches PCOM printer1.ws in the foreground. If [LastExitView] does NOT exist in the pcswin.ini, then PCOM sessions are opened as expected. This only happens in PCOM 6.0.2.0.
Local fix
