OTOH, if "preferences" are left around from 0.53 to 0.54 that could
potentially cause trouble if something that was appropriate for 0.53
somehow crashes 0.54
"Wrong" preferences should never crash Pd in the first place... It would
be really great if Oliver would somehow manage to recreate the settings
that led to the crash.

I think you runned the *new* installer whithout a prior uninstall
(and you overwrited files).
The new installer will (in the future) warn you and ask you to
uninstall first. but this warning is not happening if you have Pd <
0.54 installed.
I got a different ride... installing 0.54 on top of 0.53 the installer
did give me the option to erase the old one. I tried it both with and
without the "uninstall" option and had no trouble either way. Since
the new one will overwrite any files it needs, it shouldn't be
strictly necessary to uninstall 0.53 files that got renamed or removed
in 0.54 - they should just hang around but not do anything. OTOH, if
"preferences" are left around from 0.53 to 0.54 that could potentially
cause trouble if something that was appropriate for 0.53 somehow
crashes 0.54, which is what I think Oliver saw. If that's true, the
only way to recreate Oliver's crash would be to re-establish the
preferences he had in 0.53 and then install 0.54 on top of it without
"uninstalling".
Or perhaps something totally different from that was going wrong...?
