Being that the game exe is identical for all versions (other than any changes you may have made), if 1.1 ran for him so should 1.2. My strongest suspicion is that an anti virus or 'execution prevention' system on his PC is blocking the process, or trying to run it in an incompatible sandbox.
A couple ideas:
Have him put the v1.1 exe in the 1.2 folder and try to play the game by running it.
Just to verify that it isn't a map event or such causing a problem, make a new simple start-map with no events an no game intro's at all. Only add a single warp event that leads to the normal start-map. If it still crashes on startup, the problem is probably in Windows (antivirus etc). If it crashes on warp, the problem is probably in SoM.
