Okay so I'll have to use the web browser for help and yes I have a python folder. I'm using the installation not the portable version of GIMP 2.8.6 32-bit version. I know I have the Windows 7 64-bit version however I've used the GIMP 2.8.6 64-bit version with the same issues- no gimp help browser and no python-fu so I thought to switch over to the 32-bit version as I find 32-bit versions tend to work better.
As Graechan said, please use the Gimp manual from docs.gimp.org. Building the help browser is a pain.
Python can be finicky animals. Btw, you don't need the 32-bit Gimp since you have a 64-bit machine and my 64-bit builds have 64-bit Python incorporated.
Please do the following:
1. Open a commandline window.
2. Assuming you installed Gimp at C:\Program Files\Gimp-2.8\, please type in the commandline Window:
cd C:\Program Files\Gimp-2.8\bin
.\Gimp-2.8 --verbose > C:\Users\[yourloginname]\gimp-run-2.8.log 2>&1
Now you can shut down Gimp or open an image or something.
After you shut down Gimp, send me the gimp-run-2.8.log file that was generated.
Thanks,
