My OS is Windows 7 home premium, 32-bit version, USA english language edition.

I downloaded & installed gimp 2.7.2 from
http://partha.com/
After installing a lot of dll's, gimp 2.7.2 now gives me this error message.

"The procedure entry point gimp_drawable_preview_new could not
be located in the dynamic link library libgimpui-2.0-0.dll."

I have downloaded & installed the dll it refers to from several sites, but I still get this error message. Right now, I going back to 2.6.11 until this gets fixed, but I'm asking here if there is a QUICK fix for this.

Yes copy all the dll files that came with the 2.7.2 package that are found in the "bin" folder. and paste them in the gimp-2.7.2 plug-ins folder.That will fix the dll lib errors.(that or add a path this way is quicker though)

NOTE: you should NOT have to add anymore downloaded dll files other than the Python dll that is found on Parthas site in zip form.That file is placed in the gimp-2.7.2/python folder so python filters are available.

@Rod
quicker but deprecable, duplicate and move dll around should be avoided expecially so many dll
@natsumerio
On the site you linked did you read the instrution ? did you set the variable ?
PS Are you Italian?...if so i may translate the how to

Hi,

I am not sure what dlls your installed? All you should be doing is unpacking the zipfile in your program files directory. Please follow the instructions on the webpage. Right now there is no auto-installation. You have to follow the instructions exactly as stated.

Please drop me a line if you are still having problems. Please mention if you downloaded the 64-bit or the 32-bit.

Thanks,
Partha

It sounded like they wanted a quick fix PC so i gave them one.

not sure if is quicker but is too risky
Move 1 or 2 dll to solve a problem (as example to make gimp pdf with ghostscript) may even be done even if developers would not like.

But just merge the lib and the plugin folder!...gimp developers may well freak out if reading similar suggestions
