Thanks for confirming; I did wonder at NT4 support. I've filed a bug 
against gimp-web for that page:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669273

Should I also file one against the installer?

I'm happy to try an updated installer when available, if you don't have 
access to Windows 2000 and want to check that it refuses to install.
