If ARZ can't find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\eMule, it closes giving an error.
This can be caused by an eMule uninstallation, even if there are multiple eMule versions in the user's system.
Maybe that key value have not to be used anymore, despite the fact it is added in new versions of ARZ.

    [0.11] is a quick and dirty workaround: I moved the dummy variable definition.
    A proper fix requires rewriting half of the program to remove the eMuleRegistryConfigValue variable dependency; maybe too much work for the goal (supporting users who mess up things with installations and uninstallations).

    Related to a thread called "Port finding part possible rewrite", because if arz won't search the preferences.ini, then it won't care about the registry key, too.
