"gimp-lqr-plugin.exe has encountered a problem....."

I'm moving this report here:

Hello Carlos, I downloaded and installed your latest Windows release of this amazing plugin. I have GIMP 2.6.8 on Windows XP. The installation went well and gimp-lqr-plugin.exe is in the proper place in the plugins folder. But when I start GIMP, and it's "querying new plugins", a Microsoft Error Reporting dialogue pops up saying that "gimp-lqr-plugin.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close." I never send the error report because the computer I use is not connected to the internet, so after clicking "Don't Send", the dialoque closes and GIMP resumes a normal startup, but without Liquid Rescale showing in the Layers Menu. Do you have any ideas what could be causing this error condition? Thanks for your help and ideas!

I'm aware of this problem and I'll try to solve it as soon as possible.
In the meanwhile, avoid sending error reports via Windows, even if you're connected to the internet.

Now for some additional questions:

1. Did you test the previous version of the plugin, 0.6.1? Did it work?
2. What is the service pack version of your Windows XP?

Hi CarloB, No, I never tried version 0.6.1, but I would like to give it a try. My XP Service Pack is 2 on the computer in question. (Although I know there is a newer Service Pack available, I have avoided having to mess with putting the computer on the internet.) Thanks very much for all the work you've accomplished in developing this advanced plugin and making it available for all.
Respectfully, Dave Kettrey

I tried to install version 0.7.0 on WinXP sp3. And then I have same situation as you. Then I uninstall ver. 0.7.0 and then install version 0.6.1. This version work fine. After that install version 0.7.0 over 0.6.1 and then version 0.7.0 also works fine.

I hope so that this help.

Sorry for my english.

Thankyou Amel. I want to try what you said, but I don't know how to find older versions of the plugin on the website. Could you or CarloB show me where or how I can download vers. 0.6.1? Thankyou very much for all your help!!! Dave.

Thank you all for the feedback, I have found the problem and fixed it. The new release 0.7.1 is now available in the Windows download page.

Please, let me know if everything goes fine.

It Worked!

Bug Report:

I have GIMP 2.7.1 (Development Release), it is installed in
"C:\Program Files\GIMP 2.7\" while the _REGULAR_ GIMP (non-development) is in
"C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.7\" (Notice the "-" in the pathname). The dev version
does NOT have intl.dll so I had to copy it from the other directory. I think it may
be optional so the 'Installer' would need to check for it and NOT assume it is present.

1. I downloaded http://liquidrescale.wikidot.com/local--files/en:download-page-windows/gimp-lqr-plugin_0.7.1-liblqr_0.4.1_win32_setup-1.exe .
2. First the "Installer" said that GIMP was not installed but I could continue ONLY if I specified the Folder, I said it was in "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2.7" and the "Installer" completed properly.
3. When I started GIMP the 'pyconsole' ran to detect new plugins but ultimatley I got a message that said:

"
gimp-lqr-plugin.exe - Unable to Locate Component
(X) This application has failed to start because intl.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
"

After copying the '.dll' from the non-dev to the dev's directory the plug-in shows up in the bottom of the Layer menu.
