Summary of bug description Statemachine.xml is not found if MITK is installed using the windows setup routine. This results in a erroneous interaction. Cause of the bug By means of the Nullsoft Installer NSIS, CPack generates windows shortcuts which are used to start the MITK executables. The shortcuts have a 'working directory', which unfortunately always point to the base installation directory, but not to the ./bin subdirectory where all files are located. Proposed solution mitk::StandardFileLocations class searches some 'default' directories for files like the statemachine.xml. Also, the current working directory is searched. However, since the MITK application is usually started by the startmenu shortcut and not by a click on the executable, this directory points to the base directory. A simple solution would be adding a search for the bin subdirectory. Affected classes Add the following two lines in mitk::StandardFileLocations, at 150 pp.: directoryPath += "/bin/"; AddDirectoryForSearch(directoryPath.c_str()); How will the bugfix get tested? Manually by testing the installer
