When IDLE crashes, running it from a cmd window is the only way to get a traceback to help diagnose the problem.
Certainly. In this case, there is no PATH issue, though: you have to CD into the Python installation, anyway, to start IDLE - and there you have python.exe in the current directory.
Plus, you can still launch Lib\idlelib\idle.py without prefixing it with python.exe.
