Public bug reported:

Problem
http://superuser.com/questions/586090/fix-portableapps-com-another-instance-of-is-currently-closing-please-wait

Background story, this happened in June I think.
Our church has OLP portable installed to Google Drive and
synched to 5 laptops and 2 PC:s.

All of the sudden OLP stops working and won’t start.

The following message is given:
“Another instance of OpenLP portable is currently starting.
Please wait for it to finish before launching it again.”

No matter how long the wait or amount of tries, it just won’t start.

Following the instructions given behind the link I managed to get OLP
working again.

After that I tweaked the “OpenLPPortable.ini” (stored in:
App\Appinfo\Launcher)

to allow multiple instances of the program.

Ever since the program hasn’t got stuck again.
(OLP still asks if you want to start an another 
instance if one is already running)

Heres my tweaks to the config:

[Launch]
SinglePortableAppInstance=False
SingleAppInstance=False

Maybe we could set this to default config
or some alternative tweak to make it more stable?
