Cant run windows client, it doesnt find .dll files

I did install gtk-runtime-2.6.8-rev-a, and latest windows client for cross fire, but any of the programs can't find .dll files needed even though I have them on my computer. Where can I adjust these programs to seek the files from correct directory?
Thanks in advance. -Maldin

Hello and welcome,
What version of windows are you using?
Did you install the client and GTK to their default directories[1] or did you pick a different destination?

When you installed the client, I assume you got no warning message about GTK not found?
IIRC there are 2 ways to fix the issue you have:
* add the GTK subdirectory containing the .dll files (usually c:\program files\common files\gtk\2.0\bin) to your PATH variable (system properties => advanced => environment variables)
* open regedit, browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Path, add a new subkey of name 'gtkclient.exe', add a string value with name 'path' and with value the GTK subdirectory containing the .dll files
If this doesn't fix the issues (or if it does fix!), please let me know. I'll try to have the installer do that manually, too.
