Runs on Win 10, error on Win 7
My own build runs fine on Win7.
OK I noticed the releases used to be zipped now you download the .exe, why is that
@dellaaa From where did you download the build?
Could you also try https://keybase.pub/gaaned92/RTW64NightlyBuilds/RawTherapee_releases_5.5-rc1_WinVista_64.zip on W7
On official site you download .exe files.
On my non official nightly download site the exe files are packed in a zip. it was a choice.
findings :
-
The entries script* donât exist on Win7 gdi32.dll but appears in Win8 gdi32.dll.
see Windows 7 DLL File Information - gdi32.dll and Windows 8 DLL File Information - gdi32.dll -
this entry was already called in 5.4.
I have the same problem.
Actually I have the 5.4 (2018-03-20) that is working fine.
I downloaded the 5.5rc1 from the download page.
I installed it over the 5.4 and I had the same dellaaaaâs message.
I restored the 5.4 (just from a file backup), then I reinstalled the 5.5rc1 in a new dir. This time I got the same error mesage but after clicking (for closing) it several times I arrived to show RT. But it was not working because the message was continuosly appearing.
Then I tried to download and install your (gaaned92) build. Same again.
Then I tried the Carmeloâs portable 5.5rc1. Same error again.
Finally I sadly went back to 5.4.
Comparing 5.5 with 5.4, the RT exe file is strangely very huge. 165.884.310 B!!!
Win7 PRO 64 SP1 - 8GB - Intel i7 2600 3.4GHz
Running Win7 Enterprise SP 1 if that helps. Did an uninstall of 5.4 before installing 5.5. Also have been running RT for years with no problem. Cheers
If this is of any help, version RawTherapee_releases_5.5-rc1_WinVista_64 from gaaned92 works here fine on a Windows 7 virtual machine. (VirtualBox, host is Windows 10)
Note: it concerns unicode treatment and display in Windows of unicode.
The two builds were made by me.
In dependency walker, the modules tree views fromLIBPANGOWIN32-1.0-0.DLL are the same, calling USP10.DLL which should provide the entry point.
So my 5.5-RC1 build should work on W7.
In the automatic build, GDI32.DLL is directly called by LIBPANGOWIN32-1.0-0.DLL so I understand why it doesnât work on W7.
@Carmelo_DrRaw
As GDI32.DLL is not the same for W7, W8 and W10 (different entry points) I am not sure it is a good idea.
I suppose the version of LIBPANGOWIN32-1.0-0 is old or not correctly built. As it doesnât call USP10.DLL for unicode but GDI32.DLL, it seems normal it doesnât work on W7.
I can upload the pango and pangomm packages I use (mingw-w64-x86_64-pango 1.42.4-2 and mingw-w64-x86_64-pangomm 2.42.0-1) if you want.
Note: a general upgrade to W10 would be welcome 
I downloaded gaanedâs build again, right now, and installed it in a new folder. Itâs working.
I donât know why last night it was not working. Maybe I did too much chaos installing, reinstalling, restoring, and many other stupid things and the fail was due to myself.
It remains that the âofficialâ build, from the RT website download page is not working.
I still have a fantastic machine that is working fine with Win2K and I remember how much more fine was working NT4.
So, no. Iâll move to Win10, or Win-more-than-ten, only once Iâll be brutally forced to do it.
I will try to move my build system to MSYS2 as the next step, as soon as time allowsâŚ
I guess it should be possible to install the MSYS2 packages under Linux in a custom prefix, using pacman. Then mingw-w64 must be configured to find the MSYS2 libraries and headers.
Same here. I had reported the problem in another thread. Today I downloaded gaanedâs Commit: ca6724557, build of 12/6/2018 3:08 p.m. It installed and launched without problem on Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1.

I can confirm the error. I had it 2 days ago with the version from github (carmelos link).
I extracted the zip to a different folder than my âin use RTâ and got the same dll error.
Then I downloaded the version from keybase (gaaned92 link) and as always extracted the exe with innoextract to its own folder (just like itâs described here Making a Portable Installation - RawPedia) and it worked with no problem.
Uninstalled 5.5, downloaded gaanedâs build Itâs working.
