Posting the error would make it much easier to help as we cannot know the problem without the crash report.

This "Illegal character in path" thing really strikes me as a little bit too common lately. I had it myself when I started assembling my current SVN 182 WIP-server, and I am 100% sure there never were any illegal characters in my path setup before. I have to admit that I only got around this by using ArteGordon's precompiled core executable with the additional trapping of this exception.

But really, there have been so many posts with this same error lately that I think the root of the problem may be found somewhere else... Unfortunately I'm not experienced enough to trace it myself (my "Learning C#" is still in the mail )
