GIMP 2.8.14 Win7

Hello. Removed GIMP 2.8 and downloaded the 'stable' version, GIMP 2.8.14, from gimp.org this morning. Installed. Error after error after error. After approx. 4 min. it finally finished after about 20 'OK' clicks. *.exe files of various names were not found. ' The procedure entry point g_variant_dict_ref could not be located in the dynamic link library libglib-2.0-0.dll'. Would not open its own files or any other that its previous version created. Removed all traces from hard drive and registry; Rebooted. re-downloaded and installed again. Same thing as before. Screen captured a video of the errors. Went to Bugzilla and was immediately overwhelmed by the technical layout. I am not a coder so all this was alien to me. The deeper I went, the more confused I became. 5 minutes later......bye. Installed my old GIMP 2.8 and it installed without any intervention on my part. Works as I expected it to. ???. While I am here...Thanks for the plugins. Will use them in current version.

You either have libglib-2.0-0.dll in your C:\Windows\System32, or in C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins. Remove it from there, and the plugins should load.

thanks but the problem wasn't with installing plugins. it was with the automatic install of the new GIMP without extra plugins. just a clean, straight install. I haven't installed the new plugins yet.

The errors you see are from GIMP's built-in plugins failing to load because some broken program put a copy of libglib-2.0-0.dll where it doesn't belong.

GIMP 2.8.14 Win7

Hi,

as it happens very often that other programs put files into the system dir and so provide errors in Gimp. I would suggest to add a check in the installer and don't let the user install Gimp as long as there are file at places where they could crash Gimp. What do you thing?

Regards, Tobias

Hey folks, seems the problem persists. Removed old GIMP ----- clean install of new GIMP, only opened .xcf ---- removed new GIMP ---- clean install of old GIMP, peachy dandy ---- installed new GIMP on top of old GIMP ---- same problem (no libglib*** in system32 folder or anywhere else other than GIMP folder) ---- re-installed older GIMP over new GIMP, problem solved again. Don't know if this site will accept a 11 meg. FLV. Currently the older GIMP will open all of the files, and probably more, shown in the attachment. Currently open together -- .svg, .pdf, .eps, .bmp, .png, .jpg, .bmp, .psd (T-template 150MB), .gif, .tif (265MB), .another .png, .tif (hi-res 610MB), .another .svg, .xcf. *sigh*.
