Andre, To deal with dark crashes what I've done in the past is some creative "editing" using Orcas. Usually this means removing any offending entries and or tables that dark is having trouble with. From the error message it looks like dark doesn't like the value in a column named "KeyColumn". Searching the MSI docs for "KeyColumn" shows that this field only appears in the _Validation table. What I recommend is deleting all the rows from the _Validation table (or any where KeyColumn <= 0).
