GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 611450
fresh installation CTD when first run
Last modified: 2011-11-17 13:04:26 UTC
Created attachment 154930 [details] windows crashlog Fresh installation on vanilla winxp SP3. Crashes to desktop before windows are rendered. A small window opens with the version number within the frame. Two more window frames appear and then XP traps the crash. Report attached.
This is a pretty lame bug report. Unfortunately I've never used the software so I can't really offer any insights.
Sorry for the late reply. Which version of Dia did you install? As there are different installers/distributions available (installer, portable, zip), could you provide the URL of the file you've downloaded?
Steffen, I used the link at: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/dia-installer/dia-setup-0.97.1-1.exe which redirects to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dia-installer/files/dia-win32-installer/0.97.1/dia-setup-0.97.1-1.exe/download I then clicked on the "direct" link (rather than wait for the timed redirect): http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/dia-installer/dia-win32-installer/0.97.1/dia-setup-0.97.1-1.exe?use_mirror=internode Internode is my ISP. The md5 digest of the download is: aca692f88c742976a82200d44c3995b0 *dia-setup-0.97.1-1.exe NOTE: I have subsequently installed and run the PortableApps version on the same XP machine.
The attached "crash.log" seems not to conatin any information about a crash (e.g. somehting like a call stack). It just lists modules and their versions. Strangely enough it also list bzip2.dll, libcroco-0.6-3.dll and other stuff I'm not aware of as Dia dependency. A culprit might be the double exisitence of libtiff, one as libtiff-3.dll the other as libtiff3.dll - all in all seems this can not be fixed by any source changes.
bzip2.dll and libcroco-0.6.3.dll stem from librsvg used to handle SVG in Dia images.
I have the exact same problem with diaw.exe 0.97.1 on win7 home premium 32-bit. After a fresh installation Diaw.exe crashes on application start. Attempting to run dia.exe from cmd prompt pops a number of warnings each stating the following and then finally crashes: (dia.exe:4996): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file 'c:\Program Files\Dia\etc\gtk-2.0\gdk-pixbuf.loaders': No such file or directory I attempted the fix mentioned here (http://portableapps.com/node/23056#comment-145530) from March 2010 and this seems to solve the problem. .\gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.exe > ..\etc\gtk-2.0\gdk-pixbuf.loaders
For some reason the ".\gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.exe > ..\etc\gtk-2.0\gdk-pixbuf.loaders" part of the win-installer is not working sometimes. The portable launcher uses the same code as the win-installer and a similar issue has been reported twice. A discussion and workaround could be found here: http://portableapps.com/node/23056
