The error report does not contain any useful information.

Apparently on Windows a lot of people are affected by a crash bug caused 
by a combination of Tortoise[SVN,CVS,git] and enabling the use of its 
status icon overlays everywhere instead of only for the Windows 
Explorer. This was fixed in Qt after the alpha, so you can try if the 
crash is fixed once a more recent nightly snapshot becomes available for 
Windows or try to disable the option to show these icons in Tortoise (if 
you have this installed).
