Sorry that it took me a few days to run the debug of Zim .54. Below, you will find the information. I hope that it helps diagnose the issue that I'm having with Zim .54 on Vista 32bit. Thanks for your help.

zimdebug begins:

Subject: Re: [Zim-wiki] Zim .54 on Windows Vista Doesn't Start
 

All: Can anyone else confirm this is a wide-spread problem with Vista? (Can anyone provide a smallest possible Vista virtual machine I can keep for testing? I hate building Windows VMs...)
 
Steve: If you don't mind, can you please try it again and provide the log file? I suspect whatever is wrong will happen just the same if you run the PORTABLE build of Zim 0.54, so you don't have to uninstall Zim 0.53. You can also do a regular install, but specify that you want to install to an alternate location and choose not to create any shortcuts or shell integration.
 
Once you have portable or desktop Zim 0.54 installed, please do the following and share with us what you get in the log file:
 
1. Go to this page < http://pastebin.com/73jNJ933 ;> and save the script I put there as 'zimdebug.cmd' on your desktop.
 
2. Move or copy the saved file to the program folder where you installed Zim 0.54. If you used the Portable install, be sure to put it in the folder with zim.exe in it, which would be "[Apps folder]\ZimDesktopWikiPortable\App\ZimDesktopWiki".
 
3. Run 'zimdebug.cmd' by launching it from Windows Explorer in the folder where 'zim.exe' is. Hopefully you'll get some debug output that you can copy and paste here.
 
Thanks for your help.

Perhaps, I missed some extra dependency, but I have been running Zim .53 on Windows Vista without any issues (besides the known bugs which .54 addressed). Today, I installed and then tried to start Zim, but nothing came up, nothing happened. Zim was not even listed in the Task Manager as a running process.
