So yes, it's a matter of whatever the CWD is.

So your PATH or DLL_PATH must contain a directory noted as "." (or even worse, a directory relative to that) to  use whatever is in the current directory (this is a capital sin on Linux since it is a security hazard, but on Windows it is unfortunately quite frequent). So make sure that PATH and DLL_PATH contain fully designated references to the Gimp directories (C:\\Program Files\\GIMP 2\\bin or else), so that these directories are always searched, even if the CWD isn't the one with the GIMP installation.
