Given that the Windows installer is broken as described previously in this thread, I've removed all references to the Windows build from the Yorba Web site for now. The installer is still available at the following URL for those who want to follow the instructions I posted earlier to make it work:<br>
<br><a href="http://yorba.org/download/shotwell/0.4/setup-0.4.1.exe">http://yorba.org/download/shotwell/0.4/setup-0.4.1.exe</a><br><br>We'll fix the bug and release a working Windows installer in the next week or two.<br>

Naheem,<br><br>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:<div class="im">
<br>
<br><a href="http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1229" target="_blank">http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1229</a><br><br></div>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.<br>

Hi all,<br><br>I just decided to give the windows version a whirl - setup 0.4.1 on Windows 7 (64 bit, so that may have some effect) and I cannot get the program to start - I get the following error:<br><br>**ERROR**: Resourced.vala:232: Unable to load image-loading module: c:/MinGW/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.dll: `c:/MinGW/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.dll': The specified module could not be found.<br>
aborting...<br><br>I do not have mingw installed, so I assume it should not be looking for it?<br><br>
