2.6.12 installer for Windows

permalink

I have not been able to get a good install of 2.6.12 on Win XP Service Pack 3. Neither the stable installer nor the unstable installer will work.

Both installs result in the immediate error message when starting GIMP after the install. I am doing perfectly clean installs, even scrubbing the registry prior to install. GIMP version 2.6.11 still installs just fine.

Anyone else having trouble with 2.6.12 on WIN XP Service Pack 3?

And would you like to tell us what exactly that message says? :)

it's a standard Windows error message:

gimp-2.6.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I installed now 2.6.12 over 2.6.11, without reinstalling the old one,
but before installing I deleted the user data directory (.gimp-2.6
and .thumbnails).

Starts ok and it appears I can do basic tasks without problems

Yes, having the same problem as well with XP SP3. Crash when start up with the error you mentioned.
