Update:
Using both, the development build and plugin I got to select the sqlite driver and create a new profile. The main application window did not show, though.
I have a memdump in CrashLog and the console output. I'll post/attach both, not sure if you're interested in it.
Thanks for your assistance so far!

This error got me wondering if the dll registration of secur32.dll worked.
0010:err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated
Then I noticed I had configured all the dll exceptions but I had forgotten to copy the dlls to windows/system32. D'oh, that supposedly cannot work! So on with a new attempt, see below.
