I’llI’m Hi.
Hoping someone can help.
I’ve been running Gimp 2.8 with no issue & I’m now trying to install 2.10 but on loading up I get the following message
gmic_gimp_qt.exe - entry point not found
The procedure point g_file_test could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\programme files\gimp2\bin\libgmodule-2.0-0.dll
Gimp still opens but I can’t seem to install GMIC at all.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you
Lisa

Hi Rich,
I searched my C drive for anything Gimp related and uninstalled / deleted everything I found and started again. I've installed both GIMP 2.10 & GMIC with no problems this morning.
Thank you for your help, much appreciated!

None of these worked for me.
The error that keeps popping up is "The procedure entry point (various entry point names) could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\(some .exe or .dll)"
I've used GIMP for about 10 years on Linux, 3 years on Windows. I installed 2.10 on Windows yesterday. 2.10 binaries are not yet available for the Linux machine.
This problem has been ongoing (for me) for about 3 years with GIMP 2.8 and is more than 10 times worse with 2.10. Looking through Google, I find that this has been an ongoing problem for at least 9 years with Windows versions. Seems that Linux versions are OK--at least, I've never encountered these errors with Linux.
Using 2.8, the error dialog popped up 7 times--always 7 times--from the first startup. Though inconvenient, it was not a big hassle. With 2.10, that dialog pops up over 100 times when it's loading plugins. Nearly an hour is wasted sitting in front of computer clicking dialog boxes. Even if I decide to stop GIMP, I can't until it's run through all the error dialog boxes unless I go admin and end the program in Process Monitor.
I uninstalled 2.8 before installing 2.10. There were no complaints at all while installing either 2.8 or 2.10.
So. Where do I go from here, I wonder.

As of now, doing a complete do-over, as if I've never installed on windoze before, deleting all traces of gimp, etc.
As for Linux, I'll look for a 2.10 release a bit later.
Thanks.
