Hello,

I have installed KDE on Windows 7, msvc build, and I try to update it.
I have no KDE processes except the KDE installer itself, but I get the "there are kde applications running" message and I can't update KDE.

What should I do?

Thank you.

Additionally,

I've found the issue:

In the code:

Code: Select all
bool InstallerEngine::isAnyKDEProcessRunning()
{
QString cmd = m_root +""/bin/kdeinit4.exe"";
QProcess p;
QStringList args = QStringList() << ""--list"";
p.start(cmd,args);
if (!p.waitForStarted())
{
qCritical() << ""could not start"" << cmd << args;
return false;
}
if (!p.waitForFinished())
{
qCritical() << ""failed to run"" << cmd << args;
return false;
}
QByteArray _stderr = p.readAllStandardError();
qDebug() << ""run"" << cmd << args << ""without errors"" << _stderr;
QList<QByteArray> lines = _stderr.split('\n');
int ret = lines.size() - 1; // because of trailing '\n'
// one line means ony kdeinit4 is running
return ret > 1;
}


Issuning kdeinit4:
Code: Select all
M:\KDE\bin>kdeinit4 --list
path: M:/KDE/SETUP name: kdewin-installer-gui-latest pid: 3936
path: M:/KDE/bin name: kdeinit4 pid: 7732

M:\KDE\bin>


So, there is an additional line, because kdeinit4 reports itself, the installer process is also there and the \n too.

Where could I file a bug? I can't find a proper product at bugs.kde.org.

I would suggest on sending an e-mail to kde-windows@kde.org about the problem.

And so I did days ago. No feedback yet.
