[Shotwell] Shotwell 0.4.1 (Windows 7) does not start

[Adam Dingle]

Naheem,

thanks for your error report.  Yes, this is a bug.  The Windows installer is
supposed to install Shotwell in a way which has no dependencies on the MinGW
directory structure used to build Shotwell on Windows.  But it turns out
that there still is one such dependency, and we didn't realize that.  Oops -
that's why this is an alpha.  :)  I've created a ticket:

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1229

For now, you can work around this like this: Create a directory
C:\MinGW\lib\gtk-2.0\2.10.0\loaders .  Copy all files from
INSTALL_DIR\lib\gtk-2.0\2.10.0\loaders into the directory you just created,
where INSTALL_DIR is the directory where you've installed Shotwell (probably
c:\Program Files\Shotwell).  Now Shotwell should run fine.
