I just tried with the latest nightly built: MMSetup_32bit_1.4.15_20130826.exe 
I installed over the old MM installation (not removing the software first with the uninstaller).

The the error messages seem to have changed, although they are still connected to the retrieval of the image data from the camera.
The latest log can be consulted here:

The log I got with the latest stable release (1.4.14) is here:

Ok since a new installation of MM was still finding the configs of an other, older installation in a different folder I got a bit confused. And I did not find out how to change the location to look for the config files.
