Here's what I get: File
stardict-editor.exe.
Double click and I get error message of missing .dll:
Error message:
stardict-editor.exe - System Error
The code execution cannot proceed because libglib-2.0-0.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
Not only the file "libglib-2.0-0.dll" is missing, but a bunch of .dll files missing.
