I just tried with 6.0.0 or 6.1.0 official installers under Windows 7 or 10 and there is no problem at startup.

I suspect a problem with the anti-virus working in background...

Comment 2 Matthias Rehs 2019-04-16 12:24:22 UTC

You were right.
On a system without antivirus (sophos in particular) the software started just fine.

To solve my problem, I switched back to 5.9.0.
But I would appreciate, if future versions would be "sophos-compatible".

Comment 3 Simon 2019-04-16 15:17:09 UTC

It's not about digikam being sophos compatible, it's about sophos fixing a false positive. You need to report this to Sophos and if they are any good, they will include a fix in the next update.

Comment 4 caulier.gilles 2019-04-16 16:08:07 UTC

and SDL.dll is an open source shared library :

https://www.libsdl.org/

All digiKam installer is cross compiled under Linux => there is no windows here, so no virus is possible !

I'm adding this link, even if it's related to Malwarebytes, to show what anti-virus programs do.
