Hello,

I have been trying to get Krita to install on my Surface Pro 3 and its been giving me issues.

I am running Windows 8.1, 64 bit operating system.

If I do the download from the site, it tells me that my system does not recognize the .man file.
If I try the ZIP file, and go to try and access bin/krita.exe file, it says it is missing a DLL file (I'm on a desktop at the moment at work so I don't have the exact DLL error I got).

I know of other folks who have not had any issues getting it to work on their SP3. Is there something I am missing in order to get this to run? A setting? A program other than Krita that needs to pre-exist on my system? I have looked up the issues on line and cannot find a definite answer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I can tell you for sure that that doesn't happen on a default, clean surface pro 3. On the test surface pro 3, I usually go through a clean reset and restore before installing the new version.

However, I've heard before of someone else who downloaded the msi and got a file with the extension .man: I suspect some local software that 'secures' the system by renaming suspicious files. The dll you're missing is probably an msvc runtime dll, those aren't in all the zip files.

That's not to say that I'm not encountering weirdness myself, on my surface 3, even after applying all the system updates and firmware updates, only the 32 bits version of Krita has pressure sensitivity, the 64 bits version hasn't... The very same binaries work fine on my other n-trig enabled system.

You can try to download the latest versions (2.9.1.1) directly from http://files.kde.org/krita.windows.
