Seems to be the exact same issue as #7 I am running a virtual machine with WIndows XP SP3, local administrator rights and not many policies. I am able to test or troubleshoot.
@kibje I actually think that this is fixed and you're still on an old version. I tried to repro this on a Windows XP SP3 VM using the latest build and I was unsuccessful.
The binary linked to from the readme is unfortunately not up to date and still contains the problematic code and since the downloads feature is deprecated we'll have to figure out a new way of distributing new binaries.
Even though GitHub for Windows ships GitPad with its automatic updates, it's unfortunately not automatically updated due to the nature of how GitPad installs itself. I'm hoping to fix that at some point but currently you have two choices. Either locate GitPad.exe in the same folder as (the current) GitHub.exe or download the source from here and build it yourself. Once you have an executable; just run it once and hit ok on the dialog and it will overwrite the currently installed version.
Please let me if it works out!

@srinathrajappa That crash dump is for GitHub for Windows, not GitPad. Please reach out to support@github.com and we'll be happy to troubleshoot it for you.
Not using GitHub for windows, so it might be a different bug -- but I've noticed that GitPad.exe does crash if you try to install it on a system that already has it. It just comes up with the windows crash dialog immediately.
Anything interesting in Event Viewer?
I'll take a look and see if I can repro again tomorrow (when I'm back at my work computer) now that my environment is more "normal", and I'll check the event log then and get back to you. :-)
Looks like this happens every time for me, very reproducible -- if you just run GitPad.exe twice (downloaded from https://github.com/blog/975-gitpad-write-your-commits-in-notepad, since the link in readme.md is broken), it fails with a System.UnauthorizedAccessException from mscorlib.dll.
"Additional Information: Access to the path 'C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\GitPad\GitPad.exe' is denied."
Perhaps a simple try/catch around the copy/install logic and then displaying a meaningful failure message to the user would be enough?
(The above information is not displayed in the crash window, instead you have to click Debug, and then choose Visual Studio, and Visual Studio then gives you the exception details.)
Note, this happens even if you run it as an administrator.
I'm thinking the stack trace above is probably a bit more useful, but you asked for it, so, from the event viewer, it appears that the "Windows Error Reporting" source logs an "Information" level event:

@kib just tried the same steps (non-elevated) and the thing didn't raise any errors (I was just prompted to confirm Notepad as my default text editor twice). Hrm. Windows 8.1, 64-bit.
Hmmm... it was from the version on the page I linked, or was it the latest version? (Maybe it's fixed in latest?)
I would give it a try from the version I linked to confirm that you can reproduce the failure in that version, then if you don't see the same failure in the latest version, you know that this has already been fixed.
Github crashes immediately after starting, drops this message to console:
When trying to use github for windows and gitpad is evoked this happens in the git bash:
Troubleshooting steps taken: My own user account has full local administrator rights on computer. I started a command prompt as domain administrator (runas /user:domain\admin cmd.exe), started the gitpad.exe I downloaded here manually and same message was dropped.
