Digikam 6.4.0 on windows 10 : problem after install

[dp8700]

Hi everybody !

I already installed Digikam on a desktop computer without any problem and it's working fine.
I've just installed it on a laptop running windows 10, but it can't open correctly.

After opening the program, I have this windows : 



It says : «Error while opening the database. Digikam will try to connect automatically to the database».

The launching process get stuck at this step without going any further.

I must add that I previously installed Digikam on this computer and uninstalled months before.

I tried to open an existing database directly by right click and «open with», then select Digikam as program, but it doesn't work either.

Is there a way to have it go through the launching process ?

Thanks a lot.

When I close the previous screen, Digikam runs but stay frozen at the ICC verification stage.

Thanks.

Did you solve your problem? I keep getting the same error. I tried uninstalling and installing again. It is not working.
 
I worked with  DK a few months ago with no problems. It could be some of the updates, but I tried installing dk 6.3 but is not working either.

I do have it up and running on a second computer with no problems.

Hi !

No, I didn't solve this problem and no answer.  So, I gave it up and chose to use Imatch instead.
People here are mainly using linux based computers and are not interested in solving Windows users problems.

Hi!

1. Unistall software
2. Remove the following files/folders ...

    • digikamrc
    • showfotorc [if present]
    • digiKam [folder]
    • kxmlgui5 [folder, if present]

... from %localappdata% [C:\Users\Your useraccount\AppData\Local

3. Restart your Computer
4. Reinstall Software

I have had less problems with the 32-bit software.
