Problems installing in Windows XP
Hello, I became aware of Zim from a colleague and it is very useful! I had some problems installing it in Windows XP and do not know if this is a "bug" or a "question" and so apologize if I am in the wrong place.
The current 0.54 version of Zim installs under my Windows XP computer but when I start the program nothing happens. I did a search and found about installing the Microsoft vcredist_x86.exe library and installed that, but it did not help.
I uninstalled version 0.54 and installed version 0.50. It worked fine.
I uninstalled version 0.50 and installed version 0.53. It worked fine also.
I then uninstalled version 0.53 and re-installed version 0.54, thinking perhaps it would work now. But it was as before, nothing happens when I try to start the program. So, I have gone back to version 0.53.
Version 0.54 installs and works fine on another one of my computers that runs Windows 7. I should mention that in all cases this is the full version, not the version for portable media.
So there seems to be a problem that affects only the current version 0.54, and only when installing in Windows XP instead of Windows 7.
I hope this information is useful to you in some way. Thank you for creating this software!
Don
