--- Comment #5 from ca...@orange.fr ---
Thank you for the Visual C++ version which installs and runs smoothly…

I nevertheless tested digiKam-8.0.0-Win64.exe on a different PC but also using
Windows 10. The latter installed correctly. It is true that the installation
from a previous version of DigiKam in service has not been interrupted.

Does the installation program leave information in the Registry or in temporary
directories which would remain in the state after a sudden stop?
On the PC whose installation was impossible, I deleted DigiKam from the
Programs folder.

Then I did a Copy / Paste of the DigiKam directory of the PC whose installer
digiKam-8.0.0-Win64.exe in the recalcitrant PC … and version 8.0.0 seems to
work perfectly.

Windows and its locks are the cause. Like you, I find it abnormal to have to
pay to provide an open source application to this proprietary operating system.
There may be another solution: Propose a compressed file without an installer
from the directory…

I let you decide.

Best Regard,

Jean-Paul Eby
