Committed on 08/03/2022 at 13:07. Pushed by alvinwong into branch 'master'. ext_drmingw: Downgrade dbghelp.dll and etc. The dbghelp.dll, dbgcore.dll and symserv.dll included with the DrMingw 0.9.3 release comes from Debugging Tools 10.0.19041.685, which uses the api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32-l2-1-0.dll contract not available on Windows 7 systems by default. DrMingw 0.9.2 still came with the ones from 10.0.17763.1, which should in theory still work on Windows 7 systems. Since we build DrMingw from source for the mingw-w64 build and use the binary DrMingw releases only for the Debugging Tools DLLs, this should not affect its functionality. ** Important Notice ** : Windows 7 is _not_ officially supported.

The file must be provided by your operating system, not by Krita. I'm not even sure we can redistribute it inside Krita package from the legal point of view. The file is signed by Microsoft, so one needs a license to do that. The fact that you can place the file into Krita's directory is explained by the method how Windows loads shared linked libraries. It first looks into the same folder where .exe file is placed, and then in system directories. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447449 --- Comment #8 from Creatrix --- We cannot mark this as resolved, the missing .dll file is missing in the Krita directory, not the windows directory, so it is not that the operating system is not supported. If the .dll file is missing in the program directory then it was never in the file directory with the initial installation of the program, which means that Krita potentially has a virus linked to it, virusses and malware are a main reason as to why .dll files go missing and it usually happens when you install downloaded software from the internet (i.e Krita). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

First of all, I did not suggest (re-read my comment, I am complaining about the fact that I have to go out of my way to fix it instead of it being resolved by developers). I specifically said "I" downloaded. I do understand that there are websites linked to viruses, but you also have to remember that there are internet boffins who know which websites to go to, which programs to use and what to look out for when it comes to malware; we have more experience on the internet and software than normal people since we are glued to the screen 24/7. Secondly, regarding your comment about installing the windows update; you may remember a while back, the specific KB update had a bug just before they ended windows 7 support which installed the edge browser every time you restart the machine regardless if you uninstalled it. I do not have funds for a new machine, so I am stuck with a machine that can only run windows 7. If need be, I will download an older version of Krita and use that until I can fully upgrade my entire setup. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447449 --- Comment #5 from Alvin Wong --- If you do have this error on Windows 7, try installing the Windows Update KB4507456 https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4507456 instead. But note that *we officially do not support Windows 7* and you also shouldn't be using an outdated OS if it is connected to the Internet. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447449 Alvin Wong changed: What|Removed |Added CC||al...@alvinhc.com --- Comment #1 from Alvin Wong --- Are you using Windows 8.1? If so, try installing UCRT: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows-c0514201-7fe6-95a3-b0a5-287930f3560c Technical information: This may be due to `dbghelp.dll` and `dbgcore.dll` used by DrMingw. We failed to ship `dbgcore.dll` until after beta 5 which would explain why this didn't happen for previous betas... Though one of the references I can find https://monorail-prod.appspot.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1021650 seems to indicate that this is only an issue with Windows 7 and with the debugging DLLs from 10.0.18362, while the ones we ship are from 10.0.19041. Another source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65858706/the-program-cant-start-because-api-ms-win-downlevel-kernel32-l2-1-0-dll-is-miss mentions installing update https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4507456, which is also for Windows 7. Mind that we technically don't support Windows 7 any more. (DrMingw is technically not required so Krita can still function when loading of it fails, however you won't get a backtrace when there is a crash, so its not recommended to run Krita without it.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
