The installer for the Windows version of the gmic_gimp plugin has changed a little. see: http://gmic.eu/download.shtml for the installer and https://youtu.be/4wXgfTIeOOs for the demo.
Because it contains some files that might conflict with existing plugins, the gmic_gimp plugin installer now creates a plug-ins sub-folder for all the files.
My advice.
If you have a previous gmic_gimp using the provided installer, use the uninstaller via Windows.
Typically look at Control Panel -> Programs -> Uninstall a Program
With the new installer, run it, stick to the defaults and a new folder is created under plug-ins in your Gimp profile.

At the moment, this is not automatically recognised by Gimp
Start Gimp, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Folders -> Plug-ins and add that folder to the list.

Restart Gimp, open an image and check, bottom of the filters menu, there is a GMIC-QT entry.
It does check for updated filters, so can take a little time to start.
Be patient. If you are not connected to the internet, connect up and update the filters. This is a small download, nothing to worry about.
