I've just installed GIMP 3.0.2 (revision 1) now on a Windows 11AMD RYZEN 9 laptop. I use this laptop offline so I need the offline manual.

I downloaded "gimp-help-3.0.0-en-setup.exe" but it doesnt install it, it shows "No suitable GIMP installation were found. GIMP Help can only be installed when GIMP 3.0 is already present."

It is working here, Win 10 (VM) Gimp 3.0.2-1 so only some general comments.

It could be a "locale" issue, I did look at your IP and it it looks like Japan. Is the installation in English ?

When you installed Gimp 3.0.2-1 did you use the default installation ? The one that says "For me only..."
That now installs to C:\Users\your_id\AppData\Local\Programs\GIMP 3\  Can you find that installation ?

Other than that, until the gimp-help-3.0.0-en-setup.exe actually, works and installs something, it is difficult to give advice.

Just for info: On my installation (British Engilish) the Gimp 3 help files are well buried inside the Gimp 3 folder system.
C:\Users\rich\AppData\Local\Programs\GIMP 3\share\gimp\3.0\help\en_GB

Thank you for your quick response.

Yes, I installed in English and just followed the installation process and the default settings. 

I looked here and there's nothing installed to C:\Users\your_id\AppData\Local\Programs\GIMP 3

How come?
