           Summary: digiKam 2.0.0 fails to install on Windows XP
           Product: kde-windows
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: installer
        AssignedTo: kde-windows at kde.org
        ReportedBy: KD6PAG at AMSAT.org


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                MS Windows

KDE Installer 0.9.9-0 fails to install digikam 2.0.0 from "Stable 4.7" properly
and/or 'digikam' is unable to find either MySQL or SQLite, even though they
show
as installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Install 'digikam' by using KDE Installer 0.9.9-0, selecting 'Stable 4.7.0' with
either MinGW4 and MSVC, and choosing 'digikam'.


Actual Results:  
Starting 'digikam' results in a error box:

    Run-time Qt4 QSLite or MySQL database plug-in is not available - please
    install it.  There is no database plugin installed on your computer.



Expected Results:  
Since 'sqlite-vc100' (3.7.2) and 'mysql' (5.1.56) shows up as installed; and
'krecipes' can find SQLite, i would have expected 'digikam' to start up
normally.

This was installed on Windows XP on virtual machine under KVM on Debian Linux
'Testing' (amd64), on a MacBook Pro.  Service Pack 3 is installed along with
Apple's hardware-specific drivers, but not the large collection of Microsoft
security patches, as Windows is not directly connected to the Internet.

When i reported as a 'digikam' bug, i got the response:

> Anyway your problem with DB Qt plugin must be reported to KDE windows
> team, through KDE bugzilla. It's not a digiKam bug. It's an
> installation problem...

Let me know if i can provide any additional information and/or where else
this should be reported.
