Error description

• Installed Pcomm 6.0.7 and tried the new utility pcssound.exe.
  However, I found problems.
  .
  1. The registry keys for Pcomm sound events are installed as
  below.
      HKEY_CURENT_USER
       AppEvents
        Schemes
         Apps
          PComm
           pcsSoundxxxxxxxxxxx
            .current
            .modified
  .
      If I remove some pcsSoundxxxxxxxxx keys and execute
        pcssound.exe /b
      to restore default settings,
      the following messages are displayed and the lacked settings
      were not restored.
  .
      Error: Failed to open key ( AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\PComm
      \pcsSoundxxxxxxxxx\.current ) Error Code : 0
  .
    2. pcssound.exe /s <filename> to save the current settings
       always traps just after displaying "Saving sound settings
       from to pcssound.csv file".
       It occurs regardless of specifying filename or not.
