could you help me to solve this issue

[chimeforest]

I also have run into this

[chimeforest]

Okay... I think I have a solution to this.

First, make sure you have GTK3 installed: https://github.com/tschoonj/GTK-for-Windows-Runtime-Environment-Installer/releases Then open up your path variables and move the GTK3 one all the way to the top.

What (apparently) is happening is that somewhere in another path variable you have another "libgobject-2.0-0.dll" for another program which is being found first. I found the hint here: https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint/issues/971#issuecomment-664403521

It seems to work for me.
