You can either take Dov's approach and package the GTK DLLs in your 
installer, or you can use a pre-packaged installer:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk-win/gtk2-runtime-2.24.8-2011-12-03-ash.exe?download

I am assuming you are using GTK 2.24.8 (as you should on Windows).

The bin folder of your GTK DLLs needs to be in the %PATH% of your 
Windows environment. The pre-packaged installer I linked to above will 
set that up for you, or you can do it manually.
