Hi, the lastest release of digiKam under Windows is a unfortunately a 
beta version... and many bugs were fixed in the final release.

You may try to compile a new version yourself with this : 
http://www.digikam.org/drupal/node/402 and a little help from the 
mailing list... but maybe somebody on the mailist already did it and 
could give you access to the binaries

The error at startup is a KDE for Windows error and not directly related 
to digiKam if I remember correctly... so you may also wait for a final 
release of KDE for Windows 4.4 (in february I think).
