Thank the screenshoot helped i see what is wrong but i don't see how to fix

look mine



your has a follow up (" C:/Win.." and something else that i can't see) that is missed on mine

that because as i tried to explainj i had no any "Path" entry there to edit...in the screenshoot i can't show all the content but as you may see is not one of the first entry



PhotoComix,

I see exactly where it went wrong.

You unzipped gimp-2.7.2 to C:\Program Files (x86)\gimp-2.7.2. However, all the paths in the Gimp I supplied are geared towards C:\Program Files\gimp-2.7.2. If you have to unpack to c:\Program Files (x86) then you will have to make a couple of other changes in in the interpreters supplied.

Also, you have the PATH system variable. Windows won't function without it.

Let me know if I can help further. Can you unpack to C:\Program Files?

Thanks,
Partha


the closest may be the first ,CLASSPATH but for a computer "CLASSPATH" and "path" may indicate something very different, and the CLASSPATH seems for Java

i don't know how to copy all the list of enviromental variables (if somebody knows i will post ) but i may assure that is nothing there called "Path"
(maybe because my is a HP laptop and always HP mess in the OS)

now since i have no any "Path" to edit i suppose i must create a new one
..the start is "C:\Program Files (x86)\gimp-2.7.2\bin;" then what should be after the";" ?

Yes now i understand that the semicolon are a separator.

anyway still no joy...did you saw my screenshoot,? what is wrong with my path?

and i have the same problem on 2 very different co0mputer a desktop ( xp 32 bit ) and a laptop (7 64 bit )

Partha, I did not see this post until just now. I installed 2.7.2 earlier this evening without problems (did path statement and copied dll's to plugins) .

It starts without errors. runs but I have probs with the tool docks

You shouldn't have to move any of the DLL files.
Though i am running Windows XP , Windows 7 64 bit should be the same as it's not an install.
You should only have to add the path variable and then Gimp-2.7.2 should fire and run correctly.

I was having some problems earlier with seeing the patterns, gradients, and brushes but after setting them to view as list they now show up if i hover above them (strange).Must be a bug somewhere.I am not sure how to fix that.Probably just a bug in the code i imagine.As it is a development version from GIT.

It's nice to be able to check it out in Windows though.

Partha any thought on compiling other plug-ins for this version?

PC i also found that you can have both installed together side by side if you un-install 2.6.11
Then install 2.7.2 - then re-install 2.6.11.

I also have themes working on both now.

Partha, I did not see this post until just now. I installed 2.7.2 earlier this evening without problems (did path statement and copied dll's to plugins) . It starts without errors. runs but I have probs with the tool docks and still some funnies with my wacom cte 640 tablet). I gave further feedback on Partha's Place (John V). Thank You very much for your work here.

Edit Win 7 64 bits duo core

now i am a bit worried somehow i deleted the first entry in the enviromental variable (i don't know how happened i may only suppose that even if i click on Skype to accept a call, the focus was for some reason on the delete button...anyway to get deleted was the CLASSPATH, that started with a path for java, no idea of what was after the first semicolon

till now everything still work including java, but maybe only because i didn't switch off the PC, i am a bit worried to what may happen after restarting

there is any way to recover a deleted path ?

Back to gimp 2.7.2 i really can't understand why i have the same problem on 2 different computers and with 2 different OS

And in xp THERE IS a "Path" entry so i could follow exactly your instrution, but no joy still the same dll are reported as missed even if i may see well all them in the bin folder

Not sure if the case to continue the discussion by PM:
till now i seem the only one to have unresolved problems, but you never know maybe other may smash on same obstacles and if a solution came may help others

Thank partha i didn't try to mess with paths..it was something more goofy i clicked just to skip a track in the music player without noticing the focus was shifted on something else

going now to fix the deleted path (good to know was only for java ) and try again

I read well your instrution and i followed step by ste
anyway now i will try again and making a video grab of what i'm doing
So in case doesn't work will be easier help to trace my error

And, Rod, I have not forgotten your request, I will make my tree and notes available soon. Need to catch my breadth and package it all up.

now i am a bit worried somehow ..............

Looking forward also to have GMIC compiled if you need help holler at me.
