hm, I didn't get any reports about start up crashes for the latest version from others.
If you could send me the log file, maybe I can find something there. See the readme.txt next to the .exe for info about the log file.
There is also the option to have a local log file: Make a shortcut of the exe (via right click context menu entry), then right click on the shortcut and open its properties. In the target setting field add <-logFile log.txt> at the end without the brackets. Now when you start it via the short cut it should create the file now in the same folder.
