I have confirmed this : mageiawelcome-2.02-1.mga8 on an up-to-date (8 Aug) M8 Classic install :
 Mageia Welcome - Install Software - dnfdragora
the window just disappears.

From terminal:
 $ mageiawelcome
file:///usr/share/mageiawelcome/Install.qml:23:9: QML Image: Cannot open: file:///usr/share/icons/draklive-install.png

 $ rpm -q --last dnfdragora
package                                       dnfdragora is not installed

 $ urpmq --requires mageiawelcome
does NOT show dnfanything.

 $ urpmq --whatrequires dnfdragora
  dnfdragora-common
 $ urpmq --whatrequires dnfdragora-common
  dnfdragora-gtk
  dnfdragora-qt
 $ urpmq --whatrequires dnfdragora-gtk
 $ urpmq --whatrequires dnfdragora-qt

This looks like a simple dependency thing on MageiaWelcome.

Assigning to DavidG as the main maintainer for MageiaWelcome.

Protection against crash is now added in 2.03.

Comment 3 Aurelien Oudelet 2020-08-25 10:08:30 CEST 
Fixed, no longer crash occurs.

Not installing dnfdragora therefore.
Dialog is "Command not found", but should be more user-friendly by proposing to install it.

"Would you like install dnfdragora alongside rmpdrake?
Currently, dnf does not supersede urpmi on Mageia.
This is provided to be more fedora-user-friendly"
Buttons : "Install" "Cancel"

Shouldn't it be?
