If I copy just the .exe and language folder, it works and displays the editor
as expected.

For reference to the earlier install problem. When I end the task in the task
manager for the full install and re-run the pspad.exe, the pspad.exe still
hangs.

Thanks and Happy New Year!

If you have little time, can you please extract whole portable version into some
folder and run PSPad.exe from this folder? 
If it will start, there is problem with old profile, try [b]delete pscache5.bin
file[/b] from the PSPad profile in %appdata%\PSPad

If it hangs, try to move out all DLL files in folder. If doesn't hang, return
some files and test it.
