Starting multiple instances of a WPF application at same time throws Exception in Start() #33

Description

We started to use the analytics library and it works ok. Right now if the user starts the WPF application, the Start method will try to save the current session. This ends with a race that one of the instances will throw an exception stating that the file is in use.

Unhandled exception occurred:System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file '[SOMEWHERE]\CSharpAnalytics-MeasurementSession' because it is being used by another process.
