Jump-Location: Non-actionable error message in case if ~\jump-location.txt corrupted

I’m getting this error after installing Jump-Location:

Set-JumpLocation : The type initializer for 'Jump.Location.SetJumpLocationCommand' 
threw an exception.
At C:\Users\mitja.bezensek\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Jump.Location\Load.ps1:
36 char:2
+     Set-JumpLocation -Initialize
+     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [], TypeInitializationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.TypeInitializationException

I have tried the two suggestions for errors after install but none of those worked for me.

Not sure if it is related but I had Jump-Location installed via chocolatey (v0.5.1) which I uninstalled and then installed the new version (v0.6.0) via the Install-Module.

@codespare this is what we want: a global mutex should be used by all users of assembly to synchronize between each other.

I tried fix this part couple times and it became over-engineered, but still doesn’t work correctly. The real problem is in using file as a database without a layer of abstraction that handles concurrency. Original design was not created to handle multiply instances at the same time. I started project https://github.com/vors/ZLocation to fix that. You can give it a try.
