I have downloaded GIMPPortable_2.8.14-fix.paf.exe, and installed on my 2 PCs with winxp 32bits and win7 64bits.
The python-fu gets successful on winxp 32bits.
However python-fu gest wrong on win7 64 bits. That is to say, a "GIMP Message" diaglogue window pops up to show: 'Plug-in crahsed: "python-console.py" (R:\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\python-console.py)
Is there a way to monitor the steps and output while running python-console.py?
Any idea? Thanks.

I found the Script-fu can not run won win7 64 bits too, and the "GIMP Message" diaglogue window has the similar message
Finnally I found that this problem is caused by an old zlib1.dll under C:\WINDOWS\system32. So the solution is simple: update C:\WINDOWS\system32\zlib1.dll or delete it.
This solution also fixed Gimp (from http://www.partha.com/) lanuching problem, which said "The procedure entry point deflateSetHeader could not be located in the dynamic link library zlib1.dll"
I hope this is helpful.
It'd have to be pretty old. Like on an XP install old. This was an issue with GIMP (local and portable) quite some time ago but hasn't been an issue in years. An app installing zlib into system32 is *exceedingly* stupid. There were a couple old dead network management apps that did it at the time (pre-2000) that some folks still used, so we used to have the GIMP Portable launcher backup and restore the file back when everyone ran XP.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
