Bug Description

After upgrading Hugin 2018.0 to 2019.0beta1 Hugin failed to start with popup window complaining about missing LCMS2.DLL (screenshot of the popup is attached).
After uninstalling 2018.0 first and installing 2019.0beta1 Hugin starts and works correctly.
Then uninstalling 2019, installing 2018 and updating to 2019 shows the same problem.

Happens on Windows 7

Same here on Windows 10. Actually, I get three occurrences of the error dialog each time I try to run Hugin.

I fixed this in my build system. The next version (probably rc1) will be fix this.
The workaround for the beta1 is to go to the control panel, Programs, select Hugin and choose Repair. This will install the missing dll file lcms2.dll.
