normalmap.exe failed to start bc libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll was not found

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Download gimp-normalmap-win32-1.2.2.zip
2.Extract normalmap.exe to GIMP plugins directory.  Usually this directory is 
located at "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins".  Then extract the 
3 .dll files contained in the archive to your GIMP bin directory. This 
directory is usually located at "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin

3. Click on normalmap.exe application installed in the GIMP plugins directory.  
The error message that appears says: 

"normalmap.exe - Unable To Locate Component

This application has failed to start because libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll was not 
found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

No this is not the expected output.  Instead I see an error message that says: 
"normalmap.exe - Unable To Locate Component

This application has failed to start because libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll was not 
found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem."


What version of the product are you using? 

GIMP 2.8

On what operating system?

Windows vista


Please provide any additional information below.

ligdk-win32-2.0-0.dll is indeed installed in the GIMP bin as the readme 
instructs.
Re-installing the normalmap.exe does not resolve this problem.
