Bug ID: 474891 Summary: Filelight does not work on Windows Server 2012 R2 Classification: Applications Product: filelight Version: 23.08.1 Platform: Other OS: Microsoft Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org Reporter: sephiroth...@hotmail.it CC: martin.sandsm...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Filelight will install but not work on Windows Server 2012 R2. Opening the program spawns a message dialogue that says "Unable to open the program because api-ms-win-core-file-l1-2-2.dll is not present on the computer. To fix this issue, try reinstalling the program". This seems to be due to the SDK being problematic, according to this user on Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69943334/newer-windows-sdks-cause-api-ms-win-core-file-l1-2-2-dll-missing-on-windows-7-8 Since Windows Server 2012 R2 is equivalent to Windows 8.,1 if these Windows versions are not supported and the program is only made to work on Windows 10 and later, this should be clearly stated in the Filelight page (https://apps.kde.org/it/filelight/) so that users do not expect it to work on previous Windows versions as currently there is no warning that that is the case. On the other hand, it would be nice if KDE software kept on working on previous versions of Windows as far as possible. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install Filelight on Windows 8.1/Server 2012 R2 2. Try to run it OBSERVED RESULT The program fails to start. EXPECTED RESULT The program works. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Server 2012 R2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
