This seems like the right subject-matter thread for my question, although it's not quite the same as the OP's original question.
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?
