Two .exe to run is easy enough:

Yep, as I mentioned earlier, the GTK+2 runtime & actual GIMP installer. I'm not
saying it's rocket science, but it is complicated by involving two separate
packages *plus* all of the jargon written on the page. It *could* be easier.
I recently introduced GIMP on Windows to a complete microserf (does
not
know anything beside Visual Studio and is a newbie in using graphic
software) who had no problem installing and learning it (with some
lessons from
http://gug.sunsite.dk/?page=tutorials), she even managed to
produce a decent looking website with GIMP made graphics.
Again though, a technical user leading a more non-technical user....
