Description:
Notifier throws a High Severity Error if one of the server instances it is monitoring gets its my.ini file deleted.

How to repeat:
Prerequisites: Any MySQL server version installed and Notifier.

1. Stop Notifier.
2. Locate and delete MySQL Server my.ini file (Usually inside %ProgramData%\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.X)
3. Restart Notifier.

Suggested fix:
Make whatever change is required to get Notifier be independent of these files.

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Notifier 1.1.6 release, and here's the changelog entry:

A "High Severity Error" was thrown a "my.ini" file for a monitored MySQL
instance was deleted.

Thank you for the bug report.
