Hi all,
I tried to install a VM from a tree that had an empty .treeinfo file
(not sure why/how it got there) and got the exception below.
Traceback (most recent call last):

NoSectionError: No section: 'general'
Removing the file fixed the problem, but the patch below (hasn't been
tested) would also fix it.
