Glad it worked for you Barry. I think your complaint is valid. I only found it
by accident.
Once I had, I put a shortcut to it on my desktop.
To put the Gimp icon on the shortcut, I found it in the same file.
Cheers,
Rick

Yes Rick
I found 'bin' folder thank you
but there were no .exe files
one of the 5 or so 'application tools' was 'gimp-2.8'
as you said double clicking on this did the trick.
It would have been nice to have some instructions about this
and also a desk top starting icon set up.
But I had best forget this and start it this way
and spend a lot of time on the help manual.

I don't know what platform you are on Barry, I'm on Win, but try looking
for a "Bin" folder among the Gimp folders.
You MAY find the Gimp executable file: "gimp-2.8.exe". Double clicking on
that should start it (no guarantees).
Good luck,
Rick

I'm still wondering why
there is no way to start gimp
after an apparently successful installation.
