Hi Dan,

Yes, in a way it is. The version you are using is packaged by the KDE Windows team. The issue is that a software 'release' for a given version of digiKam and kipi plugins by the developers is a compressed archive of all the source necessary to compile both sets of software (either together or separate), with the exception of Windows which I'll get to in a moment. So, for all operating systems you would need to either compile digiKam/kipi yourself, or download a compilation someone else has done for your system (be it linux, mac os, windows, etc). In the case of Windows, there are currently two ways to get digiKam. There is a version released by the digiKam team when possible that comprises of everything necessary to run digiKam/kipi in one installer available here:

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/digikam/files/digikam/

There is also the release packaged by the KDE Windows team which you downloaded. The version released by KDE Windows is actually older, and may be incompatible with gwenview. I'm not sure about this, you would have to contact the KDE Windows team to find out.

I'm not sure how to uninstall individual applications using the KDE Windows installer, but I believe if you run the installer again there is an option to remove all installed packages. The digiKam package that we release to sourceforge has it's own uninstaller accessible from the standard program management area on Windows 7, the 'Programs and Features' Control Panel. You might also check if KDE Windows now places an uninstaller there.

Unfortunately this inconsistency is common with open source projects like this, especially those that participate in a larger open source project.

Best,

-Ananta

  Components from what website? Did you use the digiKam installer from sourceforge or the KDE Windows installer? Also, which version? It's hard to help if you aren't more specific!

    HI

    How ?  Picked some of the components from the website list, 
    downloaded to a folder, then use the digiKam photo manag. installer.

    So how do I delete this install?

      hi 

      Ok I am stumped. Installed your photos management tools in hopes that I could test and Gwenview keeps crashing the moment is starts indexing folders. 

      How do I uninstall all that I have put in my computer? No sign of a means in the regular places on Windows 7

      thanx
