Let's take a step backwards here as I'm concerned about the error message you've reported:
Quote:
'C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\scripts\photoeffect\photoeffect\ev_iccii_photoeffects_2_8.scm'
It's the word
VirtualStore that sets alarm bells ringing.
I think you've tried to install them in the C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\scripts\ folder
BUT Windows 7 will not allow you to and instead puts them into the virtual store (Google Windows 7 Virtual store to get more details). This causes much confusion as Windows explorer will show them where you think you've put them, but applications wont be able to find them there.
You should install them into your personal folders instead:
C:\Users\YourName\.gimp-2.6\scripts

This may be well the point
I had advice in my first message to NOT use that gimp folder in Program Files but the other in Users where are no similar lock
as Paynekj said most of times changes to the files inside Program Files are locked, it will seems as if files were really moved , but in reality are not, force Windows to accept similar change is less simple of what may be expected and may be done only logging in the computer as admin, but that is not sufficient
But log as admin is not sufficent, if you try even as admin Windows security will think to a command from a idiotic admin , so idiotic that as to be soothed giving him the illusion that his command are accepted, but no any of similar command are executed
If you try to placed whatever there , anywhere inside Program Files , and you do NOT see a warning , requiring to confirm the command as admin, then the command was simply silently ignored.
And even if would be accepted by Windows, then good chances that your Antivirus will activate to block silently the changes
But again i indicate the right place where move the script in my first message, and i clearly advice about to NOT try to use the gimp folder in Program Files (Program Files and Program Files(x86)
If you want solve you should move that file in C : Users/Your Name/ .gimp/scripts ...obviously in that path "Your Name" must be replaced by your login name in your computer
