OK, I am running in a Win10 VM so easy to get a clean install. Fortunately Gimp
keeps everything well contained so uninstalling Gimp.x.x then deleting the Gimp
2.9 profile in C:\Users\yourname\appdata\ roaming should clean things up.

Using the gimp.org Gimp 2.9.6 and replacing libcairo does get gmic_gimp working.
As you correctly say, still a load of error messages about the gmic dll's.

I think you will have to accept these until a specific Windows gmic_gimp for
Gimp 2.9 is released.

Other than that, as Partha says, his version incorporates a version of
gmic_gimp, but will not be the latest version since gmic updates very regularly.
