Re: [Gimp-developer] Windows 8.1

[Kevin Payne <paynekj hotmail com>]

My Windows 8.1 system has a Windows/System32, presumably for 32-bit .dlls

I would imagine that moving the .dlls from your 64-bit GIMP installation into the System32 folder might not 
be too successful.

I would also suggest that the disgruntled user doesn't know what they are talking about.
