Dear All,
just made a fresh install of the Portable Apps Platform, than installed Ghostscript, after that GIMP.
When trying to open an EPS, GIMP crashes as below.

I tried as recommended in many forums (analog to the non-portable version):
"""""
So this is the solution:
If you have not already, download and install Ghostscript 64-bit
Copy gsdll64.dll from your Ghostscript bin folder (Eg: C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.07\bin\) to the GIMP bin folder (Eg: C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin\)
In the GIMP bin folder first a) Rename the file libgs-8.dll to libgs-8.old, and then b) Rename gsdll64.dll to libgs-8.dll
Restart GIMP and opening EPS images should now work
"""""
but failed.
WIN7x64 SP1, latest PA-Plattform,latest Ghostscript, latest GIMP.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks for your help in advance,

GIMP Portable bundles the 32-bit version of GIMP for use across operating systems, so the recommended changes you indicate above likely would not work. I believe those are for if you have the 64-bit version of GIMP installed locally.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Dear John,
does this mean GIMP 32-bit version can not open EPS though Ghostscript is properly installed via the The PortableApps.com Platform?
Thanks,

This doesn't appear to be caused by the portabilization - I just tried a clean install of the "normal" versions of GIMP and Ghostscript, on Windows 7 x86, and received the exact same error. I would suggest reporting it to the GIMP folks, since it appears to be a problem on their end, not ours.
