When I use GIMP in public libraries, I use GIMP version 2.2.10. I would like to use the current version, which, the last time I checked, was 2.4.5. I have not figured out how to do so. Gimp-2.2.10-i586-setup.exe, and its companion file gtk+-2.8.9-setup-1.exe, allow you to install into a directory of your own choosing. If I change the default and choose, e.g., c:\tmp, I can install the software without having administrative privileges. When I run Gimp-2.4.5-i686-setup.exe (there seems to be no companion file for installing the Gtk+ software), the installation program fails immediately, with an error message telling me that I cannot install the software without administrative privileges. Is there any way around that? If not, is this ever going to change? I do not have administrative privileges in public libraries. There is another problem, of lesser importance. It is an annoyance but it is not an insurmountable obstacle. Gimp-2.2.10-i586-setup.exe and gtk+-2.8.9-setup-1.exe are both under 10 megabytes in size. I have mailed them, as attachments, to an electronic address that provides an HTML interface. When I wish to use GIMP in a public library, I use a web browser to download and execute those attachments. In principle I could use the same technique to run gimp-2.4.5-i686-setup.exe (if there were any point to running it, which currently there is not). However, many mail carriers impose a 10 megabyte limit in the size of a mail message, and gimp-2.4.5-i686-setup.exe is more than 16 megabytes large, presumably because it includes the gtk+ installation files together with the gimp installation files. I did find one mail carrier willing to accept messages larger than 10 megabytes in size, so this is an annoyance rather than an insurmountable obstacle, but it is still an annoyance. Are there versions of the installation programs in which the gtk+ installation is separate from the gimp installation? Thank you in advance for your reply to these questions. Jay F.
