Could you please install python 2.7 (likely the x86 one) and make sure that the path to python27.dll is in the path and see if that fixes the issue?

There is no python27.dll after installing http://python.org/ftp/python/2.7.5/python-2.7.5.msi under C:\Python27. Do you mean python.exe ? But that(modifying $PATH) didn't work.
Comment 3 Jekyll Wu 2013-06-02 10:34:00 UTC
OK, so python27.dll is installed under C:\Windows\system32, but that is already in the $PATH.
Comment 4 Patrick Spendrin 2013-06-03 07:56:10 UTC
Yes, I can confirm that too, that installing the python package somehow doesn't solve that issue. I'll investigate further.
Comment 5 Vitaly 2013-06-10 06:15:15 UTC
I've received the same bug and have solved it by installing "boost-python-vc100" package from "win32libs" category using the KDE on Windows Installer as a package manager (also I installed some other packages from that category, but uninstalling that package leads to that bug with Kig).
P.S. KDE installed on Windows 7 x64
