Possible xml corruption in settings.xml vs unhandled exception
#1
Exclamation 
I'd reported in another thread that I was having unhandled exception errors.  First time was fixed by reinstall, but with Patch 1, I'm completely broken.

I went out and had a look at settings.xml, and also deleted it and let a new one create.  In both cases, rather than 
<tag>Value</tag>

I'm seeing

&lt;Tag&gt;Value&lt;/Tag&gt;


At first I thought this might be an issue with the editor I was using but the other xml files in the folder render this just fine.  Is there a bug under certain circumstances with how this file is rendered?  I pulled the settings.xml from another user who is still working, their first few entries seem ok, then it starts using &lt and &gt as well:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SettingsData xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <Version>8.0</Version>
  <SchemeVersion>4</SchemeVersion>
  <Encrypted>false</Encrypted>
  <Data>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?&gt;
&lt;XmlDataStruct xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"&gt;
  &lt;BaseItems&gt;
    &lt;BaseItem&gt;
      &lt;ItemId&gt;16c28a47-16ad-42b9-85ba-9de886e1a1c9&lt;/ItemId&gt;
      &lt;ParentItemId&gt;00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&lt;/ParentItemId&gt;

What do others observe?

The format is ok - that's XML in XML :-)
