DigiKam in Windows 7 - not working...

[Fabian Frank]

Hi all,
I hope this is the right place to ask my question - I could not find a
forum for DigiKam :-(

I am trying to run DigiKam on my Windows 7 32bit box. Sadly it is not
working.

I used this installer:
http://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/digiKam-installer-3.4.0-win32.exe

The installation went smoothly. When I try to start the Program, NOTHING
happens. No Splash-Screens - not error message - nothing?!?! The HD
works a little but nothing is displayed.

What I tried:
- Disable Firewall, Disable Virus scanner before installation.
- Removed the Program and reinstalled it.
- Removed every file I could find which looks like digikam.

Does anybody has a hint where to look for a fix?
Any Idea?

I really would love to try this program.

Thanks very much for the help.

Best

Fabian

Fabian ... other than the place of installation (do not install it into
"Program Files") I can't think of any reason. I have it installed on a
Win7 Pro and it works fine ...

Hi Hans,
thanks for your hint...I just tried it in a different folder - no luck :-(

Any other idea?

IT is so strange. After starting digiKam the HD is working quite a bit.
The Task manager is showing some work - but no process or something
which gives a hint to digiKam. After some seconds the system is on idle
again - nothing was shown or displayed.

Best.
Fabian

Hi Fabian,

Hard to think of something ... normally using Ubuntu and openSuSE and
there I would open a terminal and simply type "digikam" to start it. If
anything goes wrong the terminal would tell me te reason.
Assuming there is a digikam.exe in the directory have you tried to start
it from the command prompt. Maybe that will give you some hints ...

Hi all,
this is getting really strange.
With 3.4.0 it just did not work. I tried 3.3.0 and...it worked. Great. I
tried to update to 3.4.0 - first it worked. But after a reboot I had the
same result...If I start Digikam, nothing happens. I tried different
versions - cleaned the registry and all this stuff - still no luck :-(
I tried to start digikam from the command prompt. Same result. Nothing.
No error is displayed, digikam is not starting...

I still have hope. To try digikam, I just installed Linux Mint on a
small partition - maybe I will work with linux again (did that 10 years
ago - but changed to win again...)

Thanks for listening...

Fabian
