[Gimp-user] Problem with Windows Gimp 2.8 and Cage tool

> Hello everybody,

hello everyone i have the same problem, but i found someting curious, i run the portable version at my work 
and the computer was slower than mine, but the cage tool dint crashed! in fact worked very good, it has wndow 
xp sp3 and all , the only difference is that has instaled visual studio 6, i try to install it since i toll 
my boss about the problem and he said that will solve it, BUT, for some reason windows dont let me install 
Visual studio 6, so my boss told me to reinstal windows (whit the copy he has) ill do that soon has i back up 
all my stuff, but i posted this alternative for you to try it. if you cant install VS6 it could be for sure 
the problem of our crashes whit the cage tool , so i can be very sure is a windows issue since the program 
and the tool worked! good luck to all!
