Using the "Latest" Native windows build (Install-TileMill-0.8.0-522.exe), installed clean on [a mid-powered windows 7 machine](http://flic.kr/p/bfSK2F), TileMill crashes without report on normal launch from the start menu shortcut. However, the program works just fine and launches fast if "Run as Administrator" is selected from [the right-click menu of the start menu shortcut](http://flic.kr/p/bfWain).

Error log [here](http://pastebin.com/eH02gS7X). The key message appears to be:

```{ [Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory 'C:\.tilemill\config.json'] errno: 34, code: 'ENOENT', path: 'C:\\.tilemill\\config.json' }```
