I found another reason why this happens, On windows 7 the file C:\Users\myuser1\AppData\Roaming\bazaar\2.0\qbzr.conf got somehow corrupted
(sympom bzr command line works fine, but from tortoisebzr gives the same error). Fix was to rename the file, relaunch Bazaar explorer and let them create a new one. The complete bzr error I was getting was: bzr: ERROR: bzrlib.util.configobj.configobj.ConfigObjError: Parsing failed with several errors. First error at line 1.
