This is question #24 in the Dia FAQ
<URL:http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/faq.html>:
24. Q: Why does my copy of Dia for Windows die when I try to load it?
A: Because the HOME environment variable is not set. Add a line like
this to your autoexec.bat file:
set HOME=c:\home
then restart your computer and make sure c:\home exists.
Happy Diaing!
