Just got the following crash log from a user:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Unable to get the window handle for the 'WebBrowser' control. Windowless ActiveX controls are not supported.

I'm using version 1.9.2
I do not have a changelog link in my .xml file to avoid using the webbrowser as exceptions from the webbrowser control have caused me problems in the past.
