PortableGimp: and again no entry under "Layer"

Hi over there,
I tried to install your portable Version of the plugin the easy way. My computer is a Samsung Netbook with Windows XP home SP 3 and Gimp is the Portable Version 2.6.7 Rev 3 from PortableApps copied in a special path on my data-partition (D:\Weichware-Portabel\MyApps\Bilder\GIMPPortable\) and german localisation.
After the installation I cant find the new menu-entry under "Layer" … in german this must be "Ebene".
Then I searched in your "Get help" and tried to move the files within the pathes as described in the diffrent threads but there is no visible effect.
Can somebody help me to start from scratch?
Thanks

Hi,
did you try first to extract the .exe file to the following path:
D:\Weichware-Portabel\MyApps\Bilder\GIMPPortable\App\gimp
?
If that doesn't work, you could try to launch GIMPPortable from the comand line and see if there are any useful error messages (I'm not sure that PortableApps works from the command line, but it's worth trying). Please, tell me if you need help with that.

Thank you for the answer - now it seems to work.
I extracted the files directly with 7zip into the path as described by you. After that i copied the path to gimp into the command line and hit "enter".
There are no messages in the command line after the start, but now I have the missed entry in the Layer-menue.
Thank you for your help, bye bye
