Summary: Synfig can't locate libglibmm-2.4-1.dll on startup

Initial Comment:
Details:
XP SP3
Synfig v0.61.09

I download and installed the four separate pieces for Synfig according to the website.
Also followed the installation video found here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=mrDqiRI7fwk

When I launch the app, I get the following error:

This application has failed to start because libglibmm-2.4-1.dll was not found.  Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I've tried re-installing the application; didn't help.
I tried an older version of Synfig; didn't help.
I've read the other posts regarding similar issues; didn't help.
I also used FileMon and it's looking for the above dll in the wrong folder.  The dll is located in c:\GTK\bin.  I tried copying this dll to C:\Program Files\Synfig\bin and that worked but it then came up with the same error message but a different dll this tiime.

Has anyone had a similar issue?  I spent hours on this today and I am currently stumped and moved to something else.

Message:
When installing gtkmm, it looks like you forgot to set the environment
variables. Synfig needs these to be able to find the DLLs it needs.
