Once installed and run once by an administrator user, the global configuration database (data.db) is created and placed into the c:\programdata\Chocolatey GUI\Config folder. However, if Chocolatey GUI is installed, and then immediately run as a non-administrator user, then this global configuration database is never created, and as a result, causes Chocolatey GUI to crash.

The application should be able to handle the situation that this file hasn't been created, and in the absence of the file, the default configuration settings should be applied, unless overridden by the local user configuration, if they are allowed to change it.

There is a corresponding change required in the open source version of Chocolatey GUI to make this work when running with Chocolatey GUI Licensed Extension:
