Re: [Gimp-developer] Windows 8.1



I understand there are patches out there that make Windows 8.1 “look like” (i.e. behave similarly) to earlier 
(non-swipable) versions of Windows.
These patches are to make upgrades to Windows 8.1 from Win 7 more palatable. Maybe they are creating this 
problem?

To be fair, we got one quite disgruntled user recently who said exactly this:

"This is Windows 8.1, As I already said, your installer puts all the
.dll files in the bin folder. They won't work there. I have to move
all of them to the Windows/System32 folder where they belong."

Now, as some of team members pointed out, System32 sounds like he's on
Windows 98 (with Windows 95 habits) rather than on 8.1. But is it
correct to out .dll files there? And if it is, why would GIMP not work
then?

Hi.

Simple question: Does GIMP work on Windows 8.1?
