  1. Downloaded the current portable version of POB ( I did this because I couldn't get the installer version to work)
  2. After unzipping the code I was able to import a build (https://pobb.in/BuNxOBIGRtX3)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash with the Windows portable ZIP and the build at https://pobb.in/BuNxOBIGRtX3, then inspect SimpleGraphic.log for the reported failure. Done means the portable Path of Building app opens and remains usable after importing that build, without crashing on startup.
