Error on install: Entry Point Not Found

I was previously running Gimp 2.4. I just tried installing 2.6.6. It came up with this message.

file-svg.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point xmlNanoHTTPContentLength could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll.

What should I do?

Okay, I renamed the file libxml2.dll, in my WINDOWS/System32 directory. Gimp now starts up.

I would have preferred a more helpful error message, especially as searching with Google does not find anything easily.

This is in the FAQ:

The message comes from Windows, so there's nothing GIMP can do about it.

Okay, thanks for explaining.

Okay, I renamed the file libxml2.dll, in my WINDOWS/System32 directory.

Gimp

now starts up.

I have discovered that renaming the file causes Systran (a popular commercial translator) to fail to start. So now, I have to rename the file before starting Gimp, then rename the file back before starting Systran.

This is not absolutely fabulous. Is there a better way?

File a bug with Systran. They shouldn't place arbitrary DLL files into system directories. Their own program directory is a better place for them.

Have you tried copying the file and then renaming the copy? Seems to me that that should work...Not ideal I know, but as a workaround, should save a lot of fiddling about. /Gary
