Hey Enterprise Library team: I get the whole goodness of EL and I am trying to switch to using it but every time I use it's Configuration Utility, it crashes any time I try to open an existing configuration file or save a new one with “The path is not a legal form.” This is on XP SP2. What gives? Is anyone else experiencing this? It can't be this broken! Please send me email.

System.ArgumentException: The path is not of a legal form.
