Missing .emacs-buffers file

[notuntoward]

Desktop+ works the first time after I install it, but then breaks because it can't find a .emacs-buffers file.

Immediately after I install desktop+, I can use desktop+-create to save a configuration, kill emacs, and then reload the config with desktop+-load. This works perfectly.

However, if I save a new configuration, kill emacs, and then try to reload the first confguration, then I get the error message:

After that I can't create or load sessions until I uninstall/reinstall desktop+ and also delete .emacs.d/desktops.

This is on GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (i686-w64-mingw32) of 2016-11-16 (windows 10) and having installed elpa/desktop+-20170107.1332
