installation in Win 10 & 11
Classification: Applications
Product: kdiff3
Version: 1.12.2
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical

SUMMARY
KDiff3 1.12.1 and 1.12.2 are not working after a clean installation (ie not
having old version previously installed).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a clean Windows 10 or 11 environment. (Make sure C:\Program Files has
no Kdiff3 sub-folder.)
2. Install version 1.12.1 using kdiff3-1.12.1-windows-x86_64.exe or 1.12.2
using kdiff3-1.12.2-windows-x86_64.exe
3. After installation, select any two files in File Explorer.
4. Open context menu on the selected files > KDiff3 > Compare (CF attached
image kdiff3-issue-1-send-to-compare.jpg)
OBSERVED RESULT
A dialog showing "Could not start KDiff3. Please rerun KDiff3 installation"
(CF attached image kdiff3-issue-2-cannot-run.jpg)
EXPECTED RESULT
Comparison of selected files
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10 and 11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
* I use a virtual machine running Windows 10 to rerun the steps. So I'm 100%
sure that my Windows is *clean*.
* Rerun installation has no effect.
* However, if an old version, eg 1.10.7 in my case, was previously installed,
version 1.12.2 would work fine.
