using plugin on win7 64 isn't possible with gimp 2.8.2

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download dds.exe (32 or 64bit)
2. extract to /Program Files/Gimp 2/lib/gimp/2.0/plugins/
3. try to open dds file in gimp 2.8.2 (win)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It should open my .dds files instead this is still an unknown filetype for 
gimp?!? In Help/Plugin Browser the dds plugin is still not available

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Running 2.8.2 on Win7 Ultimate (x64) with SP1 installed

Please provide any additional information below.

I tried several plugins down to version 2.1.0 same result all the time...
also tried reinstalling gimp but without any success.

I had same problem.
Windows7 64bit
Gimp 2.8.10
gimp-dds 3.0.1

By some reason 32bit gimp-dds loads fine, 64bit - doesn't
