[bt-devel] [bibletime-tracker] [ bibletime-Bugs-3018349 ] BibleTime on Windows won't start at all

[Gary Holmlund]

I am trying to figure out what is causing this crash. The crash occurs 
before the splash screen comes up. In looking at the source code there 
are quite a few things done during this time. One is the setup of the 
language locale. I set my locale to German but that does not cause a 
crash for me.

Does anyone have other thoughts about how to figure this one out?

I tried both the installer for 2.7 as well as the latest dev snapshot 2.8+svn2375 and both don't appear to do anything. No window is created and there is no proccess showing up in the task manager. Any ideas how i could assist debugging this?
