Description Gunnlaugur Thor Briem 2006-06-25 14:05:21 UTC 
On a new install of gimp-2.2.11-i586-setup-1.exe on Windows XP x64, Gimp fails to load JPEG images, with this dialog box:

Title: ufraw-gimp.exe - Unable To Locate Component
Content: This application has failed to start because libexif-12.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Noting that libexif-10.dll was in the bin folder, I tried renaming it to 12 (dirty, but hey). That brought up the same error message, this time complaining that libexif-10.dll was not found. So I copied the file and left it there with both filenames. With that workaround, JPEG images load without problems (well, so far).

Gimp 2.2.10 was previously on the machine, from the gimp-win installer, and was uninstalled by the 2.2.11 installer.
Comment 1 Michael Schumacher 2006-06-25 14:19:51 UTC 
The ufraw plug-in isn't distributed with GIMP, so it should package all the files it needs (in this case, a more current libexif, apparently), or the distributors should be able to tell you where to get this file.

Apart from that, this is a duplicate of bug 339299.
