Thank you.

Can you check for one or more of those zip files and send those to me as well?

The last three, like these are fine:
C:\Users\zagouras\AppData\Local\Temp\BOINC Manager_dbgrpt-8376-20151211T181459.zip
C:\Users\zagouras\AppData\Local\Temp\BOINC Manager_dbgrpt-7632-20151211T183806.zip
C:\Users\zagouras\AppData\Local\Temp\BOINC Manager_dbgrpt-3940-20151211T190659.zip

That's on the system you sent me the stderrgui.txt from.

Edit, and please answer me on my question: "Are you saying that even trying to set <http_debug> will crash BOINC Manager?"
Because if it is, I have to write you a step-by-step how to on how to add the flag manually to a file.

Are you using BOINC Manager with the Greek language?
What happens if you set the language to English and then you try to add a project?
(Options->Other options...->General->Language->English->OK->click OK on the message about exiting & restarting BOINC Manager; File->Exit, follow normal exit procedure. Start->All Programs->BOINC->BOINC Manager. Now try to add a new project)

Yeah, I just set to Greek and found I can easily reproduce the problem. Should've thought of this earlier, but I only just noticed that the person in the other thread is also Greek... and then it hit me, that must be it. :)

Am informing the developers further.
You can take the <http_debug> flag down again.

No, the only thing that you have to do is change the language to English or another language you're familiar with. It has nothing to do with <http_debug>
As I said, you can delete that out of the cc_config.xml file again, or set it to zero (0).

Phew, way easier that I try out all the test versions the developers send to me, than that I have to send those to you and give instructions on how to use them. :)

I have just tested a BOINC Manager version that no longer crashes when the language is set to Greek and I try to add a project. It'll appear in the next BOINC installer.

Edit: 10 builds and 3 hours further, we finally fixed it for good. It'll require a new BOINC Manager and locale files, so it's really going to need a new BOINC installer.
