Version 1.9.3 installed from installer exe (includes updated DLLs). Win XP SP3. The following steps lead to crash:
After this, I get the standard Windows application crash dialog.
If I check the alignment option before clicking Next, the progress bar goes to 100% and just sits there. The application doesn't crash and I can click Cancel.
I get exactly the same behaviour. If I choose to align the images with the hugin method, it will max CPU for a long time (maybe 10 mins) with the progress bar sat at 100% and then crash. The message indicates that it is align_image_stack.exe which has crashed. The Median Threshold method has much better performance, in that it crashes instantly.
