Although that may allow it to launch, it's definitely not a usable
solution. The change from .3 -> .4 presumably indicates a binary-
incompatible revision, so applications would need to be re-linked with
the correct version.

Is there a corresponding .pdf file already existing? If so, texworks
will try to open this alongside the .tex file -- in which case I'm not
surprised it crashes, as your poppler library is an incompatible
version.
If you don't have a .pdf for the .tex file you were trying to load,
then the crash indicate some other kind of problem, and we should try
to figure out what it is.
