error with installation of liquid rescale GIMP pulgin

Hi!
i'm an italian girl.
First of all I installed GIMP for Windows (version 2.8.0)
Then I downloaded the. Exe file to install Liquid Rescale GIMP plugin on Windows XP service pack 3.
But when I launch the. Exe file to install the plugin displays a pop up that says "GIMP installation was not found. You must install GIMP before running this installer. If you have GIMP installed, you may proceed, but you need to specify the GIMP installation folder manually. "

Why did not recognize the version of GIMP that I have installed?
And if so to what exactly I need to specify the folder to install the plugin manually?
thanks for the help!

p.s.

I wanted to add that if I specify the folder where to install the pulgin, or C: \ Program Files \ GIMP 2, after when I launch GIMP 2.8, appears a pop up in italian that says "can not find entry point gimp_drawable_get_thumbnail of procedure in the dynamic link library libgimpui-2.0-0.dll. " (Impossibile trovare il punto di ingresso gimp_drawable_get_thumbnail della procedura nella libreria di collegamento dinamico libgimpui-2.0-0.dll. in italiano)
At this point I click on OK on the pop up and GIMP 2.8 opens normally but without Liquid Rescale in the menu Layer. (Livelli in ita)
I hope someone will help me. Explaining very simply, I'm a little 'clumsy.

I'm sorry, this is my fault for not having updated the Italian version of the site.
In the English download page, there's an alternative dowload link for GIMP 2.8. So this is the file you need.
The instructions are exactly the same as before, so the way you did things should work this time (hopefully!)
