Hi Although I normally use Linux, I had to install 1.3.8 for Windows today and found errors when I tried to install it as a normal user. I recognise that installing software as a normal user isn't good practice, but sometimes it works fine, sometimes you must have administrator rights. In this case, beacuse there were no complaints during and after installation you believe the software is ok to install as a normal user.
Installing as a normal user appeared to go fine until I started the installed application the first time, where I got the following error :- / 'This application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the applicatin may fiux the problem'/ I reinstalled with exactly the same thing occurred. Logging in as administrator and installing and running the app as admin it all worked fine, but after logging back in as a normal user again the menu icons weren't present for the normal user, although the app ran fine running from scribus.exe in windows explorer (I've seen this before sometimes when installing 1.3.3.x too) I think the Scribus Windows installer could do with a warning that you must have admin privs or login as an administrator to install, otherwise you could end up with lots of confused users who will just go elsewhere as it doesn't appear to install correctly ... -- Kind Regards, Julian Robbins -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
