If you got your version correctly from the GIMP pages it should work...I'd download it again.. but first delete what you have...I cant help you much becuase I dont use a PC.

Sounds like you grabbed the wrong installer to me.
If you want python-fu enabled you should also download the Pyhon-Fu package from gimpusers.com
http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/inst ... -6-windows
Follow the sites install directions.

Then
Download the windows installer for Gimp 2.6.11 , and try again.
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-w ... etup-1.exe

I always recommend installing Python before Gimp to everyone because usually most people get it after they install Gimp.And the installer package for Python-Fu requires a fresh install of the latest Gimp version for your system.Better to do it now then to have to go back and un-install Gimp again.
