[Paraview] Error while launching Paraview (and Paraview Web) in Window 10

[Cory Quammen]

Debopam,

I just tried what you ran on Windows 10 and it ran fine for me. One
thing I had to fix, which I doubt is the cause of your crash, is the
data argument is actually just --data and not --data-dir.

We've had some other reports of 5.2 crashing on start up on Windows.
Did 5.1 run fine for you?

I wonder if you could try installing ParaView 4.4 from
http://www.paraview.org/download/ to see if it runs. If it does, that
gives me a clue on where to look.

Thanks,
Cory
