I just installed 2.5.3 over the top of 2.5.2 and when I try to run it I get a crash with a Fatal Error pop-up saying:

      "Failed to execute script tagger"

      Running it from the command line with -d option gives the following error message:

      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "tagger.py", line 18, in <module>

          Launching 2.5.3 from installer worked.

          Launching afterwards doesn't work.

          Renaming INI file doesn't help.

          Reinstalling 2.5.3 doesn't help.

          Reinstalling 2.5.2 works again.

          Reinstalling 2.5.3 same issue happens again.

          Picard Portable works fine.
