CumulusMX messes up alltime.ini

I have tried to install Cumulus MX but every time I run it it messes up the alltime.ini. The highs and lows are transformed into extreme values: such as alltime temp: 3220000076293,95. I have tried to copy an ok alltime.ini into the data folder but the same thing happens. It´s like Cumulus MX moves the comma to the end and then shows the full value.

Cumuls MX
Running on Windows Vista.

Are you using an existing alltime.ini file from a Cumulus 1 installation? And if so, have you read the part of the instructions which tells you what you need to do if you are doing that and you use commas for decimals?

"If you want to use your Cumulus 1 data with MX, and you use decimal commas in your Cumulus 1 data, you will need to edit the .ini files to change the decimal commas into periods/full stops, because Cumulus MX always expects periods/full stops in .ini files regardless of the locale in use."
