I have a fix for an old issue with NetfliXBMC and Chrome Launcher. When you launch Chrome or the NetfliXBMC_Utility.exe fails to close, XBMC would fail to launch due to xbmc.log being locked by a different process.
I posted about in the Chrome Launcher thread: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1875232
My solution was to tweak the Popen calls in Chrome Launcher and NetfliXBMC so that it creates a new process instead of a subprocess, thus not preventing XBMC from fully closing.
I I have I found this issue in Gotham 13.2 on Windows 8. I wrote this fix before I upgraded to Kodi Helix a couple days ago. My current testing indicates Helix resolved this issue and will not lock up as before. I decided to post this info regardless as it may help others.

Code:
