Importing EPS

I'm using GIMP 2.6.7 in Windows 7 64-bit. When I try to import an EPS, I get an error message telling me, "Make sure that Ghostscript is installed and - if necessary - use the environment variable GS_PROG to tell GIMP abouit its location."

I've downloaded and installed Ghostscript for 64-bit, but evidently GIMP doesn't know where it is. And I've been unable to find any explanation in the online documentation of where or how one would set environment variables.

I tried adding the Ghostscript folder (in C:/Program Files) to GIMP's Preferences dialog in the Modules, Interpreters, and Environment Folders, and then restarted, but that didn't help. I get the same error message as before.

What steps precisely do I need to take in order to get GIMP to see the Ghostscript installation?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

A Google search for me for:

+gimp +ghostscript

gives this as the first response:
