https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338555

            Bug ID: 338555
           Summary: CatalystControl Center.exe crash on instalation
                    Digikam
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.2.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: setup
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

This is a confirmation/ repeat of a part of bug 312422
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312422

OS    Windows 7x64
video    ATI Radeon Mobility HD 5145 [NB: this is a renamed 4x sries, not a 5x]
Driver    8.692.1.0      22-01-2010
Digikam  4.2.0-win32-2.exe


Crash happens on Digikam install 4.2(.2) , *and* uninstall 3.8, (back during
original install too).
The crash happens after starting the installer, before "Choose a start menu
folder". The install self finishes okay, and the program starts normally.

error:
Catalyst control Centre: Host application error:
Catalyst control Centre: Host application has stopped working
crash report box offers options:
"Debug or close program:"
CCC.exe no debugger found
No registered JIT debugger was specified

--
It is not really a problem for me, as
- I haven't really used Digikam yet, .
- I do not use CCC,
- it only happens during (un)install and
- it is easy to restart ccc.exe

But I thought I call it in, in case there is a deeper cause that can help solve
other problems.
Also I am curious about why, as I do not see a reason why it should take down
the video driver control center.

PS: I had, at one time, had KDE for Windows installed to get Digikam (2x?), but
it did not work as I thougt and I removed it)

PS: Digikam>Help>about> shows KDE platform version 4.10.2 , not 4.2.0

Thank you for taking the time to address my bug.
My apologies for taking my time to test, but I wanted to clean up my system a
bit before re-installing.
Unfortunately, it does not seem to have solved the problem.
I aborted the install and tried again a few times after the CCC crash, but it
keeps happening.
(at one time the error changed to " Catalyst Control Center: Monitoring program
has stopped working. " in stead of "CCC - Host application has stopped
working", but the next time it was back to the old one.

If you think it would help I could try to run a JIT-debugger  - I don't think
Windows has one installed by default.
(What is that Backtrace that  Laurent Soron was talking about in the linked
bug?)

Can I follow the instructions on this site for that?
https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Windows/Tools#WinDbg
I can not find it on the MSDN site as I can only find about JIT debugging for
Visual Studio (which I do not have), a Tool menu that does not show, and a
setting in DotNet framework that is not there.

I'll probably also try to update the AMD driver at some point, if I do I'll try
to reinstall Digikam again. (I've been a little hesitant to update before as
things ran fine otherwise, but maybe it's time...)

Okay. I have  uninstalled Digikam with Iobit-Uninstaller, and manually removed
all remaining traces from the old KDE from directories and register.
(I do not remember it crashing CCC this time but I might have missed it)
Re-installed Digikam, still CCC crashed.


Then I uninstalled again (normally, it did crash CCC).
I installed the latest Legacy AMD drivers (2013 x64). (It gave me OpenCL :-) )

Re-installed Digikam, but still it takes out the Catalyst Control Center.
In fact, the menu now claims to be actively searching for conflicting software
before crashing CCC - is it supposed to put a log file somewhere?

Perhaps you could ask Laurent Soron (from the cited bug report) if he is
experiencing the CCC crash still as well?

Let me know if I can do anything else.
