Hi,

It depends on the source of your package. There are different versions here 
and there. The SF version, binary-factory.kde.org version.

Generally, kdiff3.exe should be in PATH directory

Also, the exec can be determined by the shortcut in %appdata%
\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Yuri
