Description Troy Taylor 2007-02-21 18:23:03 UTC 
The desk top icon error messages.

Results:
All the .dll in the Gimp/bin cant be found.
Gimp does start up after clicking OK about 20 times on the error messages.


Reproducible:
Reinstalling the Gimp did not help.


Making a desktop short cut from the Bin/Gimp.exe works good.

Perhaps you should stick to the stable GIMP 2.2 then.

This looks similar to bug #169824, bug #404691 and several others related to missing dlls on Windows. However, these bugs are reported for different versions of GIMP and in all cases the reporters claim to have done things in the right way. In order to investigate this a bit deeper, please answer the following questions:
- which version of Windows are you using? (including service packs)
- where did you install GIMP? (please specify the exact path)
- did you install GIMP as administrator or as a restricted user?
- did you run GIMP as administrator or as a restricted user?
- did you have a previous version of GIMP installed on your system?
- in particular, did you have any 2.0.x or 2.2.x version?
- when you reinstalled GIMP, did you uninstall the previous version first?
- was/is the previous version installed in the same location? (if not, please specify the previous installation path)
- did you do anything special when installing or uninstalling gimp, like changing some options, moving files around, etc.?
- did you compare several ways to start GIMP (desktop icon, menu, direct click on the program in the installation folder) and do you always get the same errors?

IMO a duplicate of bug #404691. See comment #10 of that bug.
