Have you reinstalled whatever software owns this DLL (likely a Nikon provided software?)? Because this is not GIMP which installs it (at least there is no such file for me), so reinstalling GIMP is not likely to fix anything if your system can't find it.

Also I am not a usual Windows user, but if I understood the system logics, DLLs are also found with the PATH environment variable. Therefore you could try to check if windows\twain.32\nikon\nikon scan 3.0 is in your PATH, and if not, add it. That may fix your issue. Regards,

32-bit TWAIN driver on a 64-bit platform seems to be a common problem regardless of the application.

Windows will look for DLLs in the following way - location of the calling program, Windows Systems folder and then the PATH environment variable.

If Gimp is in your PATH variable, copying the DLL to your Gimp bin folder should resolve this.

Of course, as Michael pointed out, you cannot call 32-bit DLLs from a 64-bit program.

Can you provide some details where you say "also no luck"? What exactly is no luck?

Are you a a 64-bit Gimp or 32-bit Gimp? Do you have Windows\twain_32 or Windows\twain_64 with the appropriate ds files for the scanner in each folder?

I tried adding the path to nikon 3 program to path statement with no luck, copying the nikon dll's to gimp/bin also no luck.

Note that my installer installs 32-bit TWAIN plug-in by default even when 64-bit version of GIMP is being installed (because 64-bit TWAIN drivers are rare).

Since all is 32-bit, you should not be having any issues. As a test, can you try VueScan and see if that helps you? You can download a fully functional trial from here:

No luck means editing the path statement or copying the Nikon files into gimp/bin did not work. Every thing is 32 bit. What I find hard to believe is there is a very detailed Gimp help file on how
to use a scanner and dozens of emails wining about the location and method to
get to it, and nothing about the problem I am having. At the Adobe (Photoshop)
Users site, there are dozens of people with the same error message relating to
dragnkl1.dll file... And no fix there either. So the problem seems to be film
scanner/software and any photo management software.
