I had the exact same issue, but after noting the version of GTK recommending in 
the 
dependencies list I uninstalled my more recent version for version gtk+-2.10.13-
setup.exe.

I hope all goes well!

I actually faced the same problem. Upon investigating the version of GTK that 
was 
installed, I noted I had 2.12.x installed. I uninstalled that and used GTK+ 
2.10.13 
and it worked fine. Seems like BlueFish has some problem with the newer version 
of 
GTK+.

Just a little follow up on this one.  After changing my version of GTK to allow 
bluefish to work, I have noticed that Pidgin no longer has any of the "icons" 
with 
int he app.  Everything is a white box with a small red "X" in it instead of 
the 
online, offline, away, and other status icons with in the app.

and hopefully a final update.  Upon reinstalling Pidgin, and allowing it to 
install 
its more updated version of GTK, both applications work with out any problems. 
Bluefish loads with out any errors, and Pidgin also loads with the icons that 
were 
gone previously.

Had the same problem.  I added the directory containing iconv.dll to my system 
path.
 Problem solved.

I also had the same issue but I think it's because GTK DLL's, located into 
program
files/common files/gtk/2.0/bin are put into the windows PATH env. variable and 
thus
our fav' OS needs to be restarted to start redirecting Bluefish right here.
