Jernej - thanks for getting the Windows build of 2.6.2 out so quickly.

The problem with zooming going out of image appears to be corrected - great, but
I'm still seeing the same Help-Internal browser problem:

The GIMP help browser plug-in appears to be missing from your installation. You may instead use the web browser for reading the help pages.

I thought that this was something required some tweak to the Windows build and was going to be fixed for 2.6.2. Did I misunderstand?

My system WinXP SP3.
