[Eric] eric4 problem on Vista: pythonw.exe has stopped working

[Francesco Biccari]

Other informations.

I tried to start separately the components of eric4.
The only components which show the crash of python on exit are:

eric.py (the main application)
eric4-tray.py
eric4-unittest.py
eric4-webbrowser.py

With the other components, no problem arises.

Ciao ciao.
Fra
