I still can't produce a problem. Tried adding an empty named entry and deleted, added a "unamed entry" and deleted... still no exception. You might want to fix it in future builds to not allow entries with empty descriptions. Guess we'll haft to wait for Sofarider to post the requested info.
 
I've been trying to delete an entry named "unnamed entry", which showed up when moving to build 86, probably due to a moved boot.wim file referenced by that entry.

Ok, I was going to wait for CG's input but he's offline, so...

Only way I can think of getting rid of this entry via EasyBCD then is by resetting the BCD configuration:
BCD Install/Repair > Reset BCD Configuration > Perform Action

Of course this would also wipe out your extra entries in the process. You would need to re-add those.

Alterntively, you can use bcdedit to get rid of the entry:
Useful Utilities > EasyBCD Power Console: bcdedit /delete {fe9c4b57-1b9a-11df-83a5-ef79c2757880}

Most likely you'll need to restart EasyBCD to see the changes, or you can confirm it is gone by typing "bcdedit".

Addendum:

Click to expand...

Bingo. Before you resort to my other instructions please give build 87 a try. Its available here. That build work without exception?

I am getting the exception with build 87. I'll try deleting the entry with bcdedit.

Addendum:

And I was able to successfully delete the entry using bcdedit. Thanks for the proper syntax which saved me some research time.

Well, I'm glad the entrys gone. Problem is we still don't know what was causing the error deleting it. Besides moving to the latest build was there anything you changed (like adding that entry for example?) or did it just show up on its own?
 
Did I mention there was a hard drive upgrade in between builds 82 and 86? :wtf:

Using Macrium Reflect I restored everything to the new drive including the MBR and everything worked great. When upgrading EasyBCD 2 b82 to 86 I noticed the one menu entry, 'Win 7 repair', referencing boot.wim, had gotten hosed.
