I did. I completely uninstalled the old version before installing the new,
including the old GTK+ which indeed has to be un-installed separately.

Yes, it might help me further too :-)
Unfortunately, the error message doesn't display further details. Only some
hex numbers and the memory location:

unknown software exception (0xc000008e) occurred at location 0x6e953deb
