Graphics & Pictures Apps Support

I've tried several times to install GIMP 2.10.14 and open the app, but it never launches, doesn't even state any error.
I have a Win 10 Home x64.
I'm not exactly tech savvy, so I'm not sure what I should do here. Can you help me?

I did extensive documentation in GIMP.org forum. Problems only afect Gimp in PortableApps.com copy. Details here

I wanted to use Gimp but when I launch it: nothing happen and If I relaunch Gimp it is saying the error that gimp-2.10.exe is not found.
Explanation : When launching Gimp for the first time it is apparing that he remove everything in App/gimp/bin and when relauching nothing is working...

PS: I change the PackageVersion numbre for re-install Gimp but I get the same self destruc. On Windows 10 1903

I recently got the prompt to update my GIMP Portable Apps, so I assume it was the release version. I am getting the GIMP Portable unable to start due to gimp-2.10.exe unable to be found message. After several tries deleted the install and retried using the PAF and the installer from the Portable Apps platform and still get the gimp-2.10.exe unable to be found message.

system details:
OS version: Windows 10
64-bit
Type of Install: Upgrade
install path - C:\Users\Ray\Dropbox\portable apps 2\PortableApps\GIMPPortable

There was an error parsing the menu definition from image-menu.xml: Failed to open file “C:\Users\alanb\PortableApps\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\share\gimp\2.0\menus\image-menu.xml”: No such file or directory

looks like failed install,Am I right? another way to fix this?

I updated my PA frameworks copy of IrfanView four days ago, and soon found I couldn't save any updates to my preferences. IrfanView warned me of this as soon as I entered the Options dialog, saying

Your INI file 'D:\Development\Portable Apps\IrfanView\Releases\IrfanViewPortable\Data\IrfanView\i_view.ini' is read-only.

I don't even have a D drive. I think the PA packager has inadvertently left a trace of their system in the released code.

I fixed this by finding the file which specified that file path. It was in a plain text .INI fle at

All DDS files are viewed incorrectly, there's a 4x4 pixel block missing on the bottom right.

Also tested with a 4x4 dds file, and on that case it won't even open and just give a "Decode error !" : "Can't decompress file!" .

32-bit version of GIMP crashes if you try to edit huge images, e.g. professional photos. While I suspect it's unsuited for the task anyway due to how slow it does it, crashes don't help either. Could GIMP choose between 32 and 64 bits like FireFox does?

GIMP Portable (2.10) can't run if installed to "C:\ProgramFiles". Please fix by allowing the program to run from within "C:\ProgramFiles" by either a) copying the GIMP Portable directory to a temporary location within the current User's directory and running from there, or b) Run from "C:\ProgramFiles" if the current user is an Administrator.

Anyone having ideas on adding Languages, as the Install Language extension to KADMOS gives Error 720 (Error on opening file containing the download directory on the internet server).
I found the Language extensions under Downloads menu here: https://rerecognition.com/en/produkte/kadmos-irfanview/

Pulled the zip file, but there's no readme - so I took the chance to install them directly into the PortableApps folder:
