FTR:

I've zipped up my KDevelop installation folder -- which works just fine on 
another machine I have access to.

Please try:
 http://krf.kollide.net/files/work/kdevelop/KDevelop-x64-setup-5.0-20160502.7z

Unpack, run bin\kdevelop.exe.

Please report back!

Note: You might need to install the MSVC2015 VC runtime yourself

Cheers,
Kevin
