If other users also use this kind of programs, try to execute it to make sure if this is the cause of the error. 
Excellent example and proof of what I have always been saying! Never EVER use such registry cleaners if you do not know exactly what you're doing! Those tools are not, I repeat NOT, meant for common usage, eventhough they are quite often advertised as such.
Such tools might seem innocent and they are advertised to the average user as thé number one method to keep the system clean, but they often cause more damage than that they actually fix if they are run by the average Joe!!!!!!!!!!
Even in expert hands, such tools should NEVER be run in such a way that they automatically '
fix' stuff. They ALWAYS get it wrong for many keys.
This said, if this is indeed the cause (or one of the causes), it might perfectly explain the random nature of these errors and why (no offense) only the inexperienced user seems to have it as those are the ones most often running such cleaners.
But also, it would still be a bug in Plus! too. Plus! should check for the existance of those keys and if they are not present, it should properly deal with it...

@apeclys
thanks for that great information...
That missing registry key is indeed the culprint of this particular "
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error" error.
And now that it has been found, it will be dead easy to fix it in a next version of Plus!... Again, thanks!
