The windows installation does not open tiff files.

For error message, see attached image

Procedure
I installed new version of 2.8.0-RC1, the previous version 2.6.x... opened the same file without problems. 
Note I am using 64bit version of Win7 and used installer from http://www.gimpusers.com/downloads/8-gimp-2-7-1-windows-32-64-bit 
(I am not sure if it automatically determined version 32/64bit to install, so cannot say what version is installed on my PC)

Duplicate of bug #673729?
Comment 2 JAMA 2012-04-16 11:12:38 UTC 
Yes it is duplicate.
I replace libtiff-5.dll for libtif-3.dll from older installation and it works. It means it is the same bug.

I also reproduced this bug with productin 2.6.12 and development 2.7.5. The installation is removed from my PC so I cannot check, but I guess the same libtiff-5.dll library with bug was used there.
