TXMLConfig seems to be reseted every time application starts

Using Lazarus 0.9.20 for Windows (will port to Linux later)

I put a TXMLConfig on my form, set the filename to 'D:\a.xml' and
RootName to 'test' and I added these two events:
Code: [Select]
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Caption:=XMLConfig1.GetValue('teststr', '');
end;

procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  XMLConfig1.SetValue('testint', 75);
  XMLConfig1.SetValue('teststr', 'testvalue');
  XMLConfig1.SetValue('path/slash', 'slashdot');
  XMLConfig1.SetValue('path/slash/slash2', 'slashme');
  XMLConfig1.Flush;
end;

When pressing Button2 and restarting my application, Button1 gives me
an empty caption. Pressing Button2 and then Button1 without restarting
gives me the caption 'testvalue' as expected.

D:\a.xml contains the following, after pressing Button2:
Code: [Select]<?xml version="1.0"?>
<test testint="75" teststr="testvalue">
  <path slash="slashdot">
    <slash slash2="slashme"/>
  </path>
</test>

I've tried all combinations of the StartEmpty and UseEscaping
properties. None worked. What's wrong??

Did you try:
Caption:=XMLConfig1.GetValue('test/teststr', '');

or
Caption:=XMLConfig1.GetValue('test' +'teststr', '');

I'm not an expert, but have it like that in a test thing i did once..

I tried that, and as I expected it didn't work.

Could you show me all your code of your XML testing project?
Do you use Lazarus in Windows or Linux?
