Do you have (relicts of) an older installation on your disks?

I had to delete (or rename) the default Lazarus settings in the user 
settings, in order to make the snapshot install the new settings.

Such problems would not occur when Lazarus (and make) would use local 
settings, stored in the Lazarus directory. Otherwise old settings in 
...user\AppData (or ~/.lazarus...) will get into the way of every new 
installation.
