Welcome to Windows world, with the high security level of sub system which refuse to install client application, or break install without information/report. You have an antivirus working in the background ? Do not search more... Even if digiKam for Windows is cross compiled under Linux (no virus is possible in this case), the application is in certain cases detected as malware. In fact the malware is the Antivirus itself. This is why i refuse to work under M$ OS... Gilles Caulier Normally it is not a problem to uninstall a previous version and install a new one. The databases and configuration files are *not* deleted. Do you use a tool that monitors and logs program installations and then removes everything completely? See if the digiKam configuration file (digikamrc) exists under: C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\digikamrc If so, rename or remove and try again to set up a digiKam setup.

It's infernal to tune... And i don't talk about the auto update working in background and locking system functionality while many hours. Windows is just a waste of time for time... Gilles Caulier Installed Digikam 6.1 on other PC without previous installation. All works fine. Now I clean W10 register. Tks to all. I think solved. DigiKam writes nothing in the registry, look for my comment 2. Maik Ok, I close the bug. If necessary, open it again if necessary. Maik |
