You might find some help on the gimpwin-users list.

I'll be watching for your post. The WinGIMP page has files and instructions for 1.2.4 but not for 2.0. I would like to know how to install 2.0 also.

Your choices are to use the installer (which was still at 1.3.23 when I last looked, although Jernej may have updated it since) or the .zips.

If you choose to use the .zips, then you need to download lots of packages, and basically unzip them all in the same place (create a directory c:\GIMP-2.0 and unzip everything) - for some .zips you may have to copy files from $PACKAGE_NAME/bin to bin (same thing for lib).

Once everything is unzipped, you should set the path to include the gtk+ files (if you installed them separately), and just run gimp-1.3.exe.

The installer is easier - just run gimp-installer.exe and it will install the program The Windows Way (TM).
