the error message that says:
RegistryTool: Could not set the value 'D:\Program Files Production\Inkscape\inkscape.exe

can be removed as follows: start DOS as an administrator.
In my case I have a shortcut to 'cmd' on my desktop, since I use DOS a lot, being of a certain age...
so instead of double-clicking on the shortcut, I use the right mouse button and choose the option "Run as administrator". Then when DOS starts up it says "Administrator:cmd" in the title. Then run Inkscape and start up the Preferences dialog and get the following output, no error messages about the Registry:

C:\Program Files>inkscape\inkscape
C:\Program Files\inkscape

Just for clarification, is the original crash fixed?
