Have you tried d/ling GIMP as EXE?

The way I got GIMP was by burning the "live cd" of Ubuntu Linux, and putting it into the cd drive. A window opened up, I installed GIMP from it and whamo!! There you go. (Just no help files)

yes i ended up d/l both the file group that had the src.zip file and just the exe and environment files.tried running the exe and environmeny and it works fine except that it wants two dll's to be renamed

SRC is probably for 'source', ie the uncompiled source code rather than the executable code.
