failure to start

[Alejandro Jakubi <jakubi df uba ar>]

Hi

I have installed the dia-win32-installer 0.94-pre1 on Win98, apparently
without any error, but it fails at starting. A DOS box opens first where the
following error messages appear:

==========

==========

and then a Windows fatal error message comes out:

==========

============

Details of the system are:

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 98 (4.10, Build 2222)  A
Language: Spanish (configuración regional: Spanish)

I have verified that \lib\gtk-2.0\2.4.0\loaders\libpixbufloader-xpm.dll is in
place, so that it seems to me as if the installation is incomplete or some
configuration is missing. Indeed the icon installed in the desktop was
originally pointing to the wrong place: "C:\Archivos de programa\Dia\dia.exe"
instead of "C:\Archivos de programa\Dia\bin\dia.exe".

Any suggestion is welcome.

Regards, Alejandro Jakubi
