(I haven't tested it).

Thanks, I appreciate it (even though I was looking forward to trying it out).

The plugin is compiled for 32-bit versions only.

My problem is this: I am running the x64 version of GIMP 2.6.8 on the 64-bit version of Vista. My registry does contain the entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WinGimp-2.0_is1\InstallLocation" and the value is the one listed: "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\" however, here is what happens when I tried to install the .71 version of the plug-in.

First, the installer said that it couldn't find the installed copy of GIMP, and that I would have to manually point to the folder where GIMP was installed. I did that, and then the installer appeared to work. However, when then tried to fire up GIMP, I got several errors stating that the plugin had terminated; I got the error dialogue window twice, clicked through it, and then when GIMP had finished starting up, the plugin entry on the Layers menu was not there.

The error log entry that I found in the Vista event viewer says this: "Faulting application plug_in_lqr_iter.exe, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x4c10d2d1, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e03824, exception code 0xc000007b, fault offset 0x0006f04e, process id 0xdf4, application start time 0x01cb3f3a866ffb55."

Is it possible that this is related to the fact that I'm running the x64 version of 2.6.8 (which I understand is considered experimental, so I understand if that applies to this plugin as well), and that the GIMP installation is therefore installed in the Programs file for 64-bit applications instead of being installed to the Programs folder that Vista reserves for 32-bit applications?

Having another bug with the palette color switching back to black with creating a preservation layer, looking for another bug report.

So I had to change the link name, here it is: http://liquidrescale.wikidot.com/local--files/en:download-page-windows/gimp-lqr-plugin_0.7.1-liblqr_0.4.1_win32_setup-1.exe.

I have updated the installer for 0.7.1, you may try again now.

There is a report about the other issue with ntdll.dll in the bug report section, in this thread, you can help me to figure out the problem there.

Having received no answer, I assumed that the new version fixes the issue and I put it on the download page in place of the old version.

So I'm a bit puzzled.

Maybe you have upgraded GIMP from a previous version (like previous to 2.4)? In that case it might be that it's using some old location I'm unaware of.

Things you could do to find out (and help others with maybe the same problem):

  • Search for the correct key:
    1. open the registry again and make sure you're at the top of the tree
    2. go to "Edit"->"Search"
    3. type the string "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\" (be careful to add the final backslash) in the search field
    4. Untick "Keys" and "Values" and tick "Data" and "Whole string" (I hope those names are correct, I'm translating from Italian here; anyways it's: untick the first two boxes, tick the last two)
    5. Hit search and see if it finds an "InstallLocation" entry; if it does, figure out its path and report it here, so that I can fix the installer.
  • Uninstall GIMP (from the Control Panel, of course, hoping it will clean the registry) and install again the last version, and see if the plugin installs

Can't find any GIMP related item in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall :(

The plugin installer looks in the Windows registry for this entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WinGimp-2.0_is1\InstallLocation

This is based on my installation, and I took it for granted it is standard, but it looks like it doesn't find it in your system.

In order to find out for sure, can you please

  1. open up the Windows registry (use "start"->"run…" then type "regedit" and hit OK)
  2. navigate to that position specified above (it's easy, it's just like a big directory tree) and look for that entry?

If you don't find it, do you find at least something similar? (i.e. some GIMP entry inside the "Uninstall" branch)

I get this error when launching it :
"GIMP installation was not found. Please install GIMP before running this installer".

GIMP 2.6 directory is C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0
