How to reproduce the issue

On starting the app the green startup box is displayed, but once that is complete I get the error message attached above.

I have uninstalled, deleting any remaining files in %appdata%, and also tried installing in a different location. All with the same result.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the startup failure after the green startup box completes, using the reported installation and %appdata% cleanup details. Inspect the startup path and the error shown in the attached crash screenshot; no source file or test is identified in the issue. Done means the application reaches its normal interface without the reported crash.
