take a breath

1st - are you running kde under windows or linux?

2nd - what steps are you referring to that you followed?

3rd - why did you post here under Amarok?

ok I'm going to move this to the Windows forum

did you follow the "Testing your installation" from the instructions you used? such as:
If that works, try running a simple KDE application, such as lskat.exe from the kdegames package.

Look into your start menu: there will be a new entry KDE 4.XX.XX Release. Below that folder you can find all the apps you installed.


Next time try and be a bit more descriptive of you problem in the subject line something like "installed in Windows but can't find apps"

It would appear that your Windows install is missing a .dll file
I found this post which seems reasonable because the links to dl are on Microsoft's website http://www.sevenforums.com/general-disc ... ost1084664

Alternatively, you can try running a different compiler version (KDE on Windows is built with a couple of different compilers, different compilers result in different bugs). Use the installer to remove the previously-installed KDE, then manually delete the KDE install directory. Then rerun the installer and on the 3rd page of the installer, pick a different compiler mode (in my experience the MinGW4 one has run better than the others - for now at least).
