After switching DEP the way you told me Zorro does not crash anymore. But this fact refers to 1.34 only because 1.32 was running on this VE as it was until upgrading to 1.34.
Make sure that the folder exists. It probably also works with double quotes, but most likely not with double backslashes. The "\\" is used for string constants in C source code, not for file names in an ini file.
Also when changing the .ini file make sure to restart Zorro - the .ini file is only read once at the begin.
