Right ok, so you know one can try out the latest builds on darkrefraction, specially the 2.9 is getting there.
So on Windows7 64, i get these libgimpui blabla stuff missing and if i copy the ones from /bin to pluginsfolder i get child blabla's.
So i give up and i ask, what is the correct way on fixing this and why is there need to fix this in the first place, they are like, 'portable' *ugh!* I must be missing something.
And! i just reminded myself that i have not whined in aaaages about the waiting game, c'mon devs & co, my body is ready!
I'm ok, i'm Ok.. puh*
*blip!'

Never managed to get a single 2.9 win32 build to work on my 32 bits OS, last i tried a couple of years ago

So to see if things changed in 2 years, i just tried today to see if it's not broken, and well ... it's still terribly broken with the console telling me basically that gimp had error with unable to read :
...\ApplicationData\GIMP\2.9\plug-ins\libwinpthread-1.dll
...\ApplicationData\GIMP\2.9\plug-ins\libstdc++-6.dll
...\ApplicationData\GIMP\2.9\plug-ins\libpthread-2.dll
...\ApplicationData\GIMP\2.9\plug-ins\libpng3.dll
...\ApplicationData\GIMP\2.9\plug-ins\libgomp1.dll
...\ApplicationData\GIMP\2.9\plug-ins\libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
...\ApplicationData\GIMP\2.9\plug-ins\libfftw3-3.dll

with "Failed to execute child process <exec format error> "
between each of those messages (despite all those files are actually there in the path that console link me to)

And to end in another note, a popup error
The procedure entry point _ZNSt8__detail15_List_node_base11_M_transferEPS0_S1_ could not be located in the dynamic link library libstdc++-6.dll
That i have no idea what it is

Wonder if it means the thing is even mixing 32 and 64 bits versions of those files.
Anyways, the 2.9 win32 on darkrefraction version look exactly as broken as it was a couple of years ago.
Wouldn't be surprising if the 64bits is broken as well.
I wonder if it's why i see no discussion anywhere about people using 2.9, unless everyone just gave up and bought photoshop.
