Cannot install gimp-help on Windows 11

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

How come?

Ok, a bit more of the puzzle.  Lets go through the default installation in pictures.

   

(1) Did you choose "Install for me only"   or "Install for all users"  That determines where the Gimp 3 system files go.
(2) Very few Windows users go through the Customise Options where where you can install anywhere, so Gimp goes in
C:\Users\your_id\AppData\Local\Programs\GIMP 3
or
C:\Program Files\GIMP 3\
(3) ....and you might recall something like the installation process.

   

(4) You can check the location using Gimp. In Edit -> Preferences -> Folders Click on the little arrow to expand the entries. Look in any location, the first one is brushes, and there is an entry showing where the Gimp system files are located. That might show why you see "nothing installed"

You installed in English. It might be a "locale" issue.
(5) In Edit -> Preferences -> Interface  What language is showing ?
(6) If it is not English [en_us] can you set to English [en_us]

Other that that, I do not know why the Help package does not install. It picks up Gimp location from the Registry entries and that might be the problem.
