FMS Light only comes in the 2009 version, the one you linked to in your original post. It (normally) works fine with later year robots, including 2011. So if it's not connecting then there are other problems (Firewall off?). Being from 2009 it probably needs XP and might not run under Windows 7, but I haven't tested that-maybe later.
There is a hybrid version released in 2010 called
FMS Delta that has additional system requirements and will crash like you describe fresh out of the installer without SQL Server 2008 Express. I wouldn't use
Delta, it assumes the full field server setup and the complexity goes way up. Could that be the one you are talking about? It's available via a wiki site.
There were also some unreleased intermediate versions judging from mismatches with the corresponding User Guide.
Do you have links to the different versions you've tried, so we can check them out?

I've never had problems and usually have both user accounts logged in at the same time so I can monitor some things. Having the Driver Station and Dashboard running in both WILL screw it up though. Not seriously, but only one will win and it'll probably be the one you don't want.
