Hi Irv,

I installed the runtime to c:\GTK ... so I added c:\gtk\lib to my path.

Following the file location structure at:
http://gtk-wimp.sourceforge.net/faq/

I created a new directory:
c:\gtk\lib\gtk-2.0\2.2.0\engines\ 
and copied 
c:\gtk\lib\libwimp.dll 
to 
c:\gtk\lib\gtk-2.0\2.2.0\engines\libwimp.dll

I created a new directory:
c:\gtk\share\themes\gtk-wimp\gtk-2.0\ 
and copied
c:\gtk\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc.window 
to 
c:\gtk\share\themes\gtk-wimp\gtk-2.0\gtkrc 

This gets the correct "Wimp" (or Windows) theme but produces some of 
the "font" errors.  As I said, everything still seems to work 
correctly except for the font messages displayed in a console window.

I haven't done any more investigation from this point.
