Hello
I'm no expert but have been using GIMP for many years.
It's was super glitchy today and rebooting didn't help.
I saw the install was more than a year old, so I uninstalled and
intended to reinstall, but can't.
Running as Administrator made no difference.
I'm running Windows 10 PRO 64 bit on a desktop.
I attach an image of the error message.
Any help appreciated, though please keep instructions simple.
Thanks
Sooo...after 2 days I figured it out and will post here in case others have the
problem.
One of two things happened:
When I uninstalled GIMP, it didn't uninstall everything OR
it installed PARTIALLY before it hit this error, and all subsequent attempts to
install failed because of these partial files.
Went to C drive >Programs>Gimp and deleted these Gimp files.
Then REBOOT.
Didn't work til I rebooted.
I am now up and running with Gimp 2.8.22 and life can return to normal.
