Anyone's help in getting the GIMP help files installed would be greatly appreciated. When opening the help file in the menu bar I get:

help.exe Message

The GIMP files are not installed.
Could not open 'C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\help\en\gimp-help.xml' for reading: No such file or directory

Where can I get these files from and how do I install them?

Thanks to everyone in advance. :beer:

Here http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ for help files, dont forget its not
just one complete program you have to donload quite a few "add ons"
just to get anywhere.

'xactly what I mean, I couldn't get PSP to do the things I wanted. I learn't all the tricks of PS, before I tried PSP, and kept on muttering things like "where've they put xxx, they can't have left that out!"

That said, it could be an old dog \ new tricks thing, cos I also don't really use much of the new functionality they've introduced since PS6 (3 versions ago...), well maybe the red-eye removal tool when I'm in a rush.....
