After disastrous experience I have added this ASSERT_ to GetIniKey:

String GetIniKey(const char *id, const String& def) {
	ASSERT_(IsMainRunning(), "GetIniKey is allowed only after APP_MAIN has started");

The rationale is that many application change the .ini file location and/or name, which can only be done in GUI_APP_MAIN. The disaster (that actually happened to me Smile

is then:

String s = GetIniKey("foo"); // loaded from the wrong .ini file

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
	SetIniFile("/etc/bar.ini");
