Hi,

I guess that something in your windows installation prevents the installer from working correctly. Could you check the latest beta release and see whether that works better for you? http://files.kde.org/krita/windows/

I will mark the bug as NEEDSINFO. If you still see the bug, please reopen it as UNCONFIRMED again.

2.9 doesn't need kbuildsycoca anymore, please use the latest beta from http://files.kde.org/krita/windows.
