Ok, now it starts. But it is not usable yet (as it states it  is 
per-alpha). It crashes on the scanner, gives a warning after startup and 
the files selection can not select any file outside of c: (my data and 
music is on e:).

But from this experience I would propose to automate the rebuild of the 
configuration, since this will happen to every user who is upgrading 
their kde-windows installation.
