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: <a href="http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1229">http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1229</a> 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. adam <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Dec 27, 2009 at 1:42 PM, Naheem Zaffar <<a href="mailto:naheemzaffar@gmail.com">naheemzaffar@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi all, 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: **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. aborting... I do not have mingw installed, so I assume it should not be looking for it? _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list <a href="mailto:Shotwell@lists.yorba.org">Shotwell@lists.yorba.org</a> <a href="http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell" target="_blank">http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell</a> </blockquote></div>
