python-fu script no more working after gmic installation

Hello,

I am a one week year old user of gimp.

I installed gimp one week ago and used python-fu for scripting. It works very well on windows-10, gimp 2.8

Yesterday, i installed gmic. It seem to work well on GUI.

Now, here comes the issue:
After having installed GMIC the python-fu script does not work anymore. I have this error message:

GIMP-Error: Unable to run plug-in "zlib1.dll"
(C:\Users\admin\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins\gmic_gimp_qt\zlib1.dll)
Failed to execute child process (Exec format error)

When i delete the gmic_gimp_qt directory completely the script works again.

Thank you for you help.

PS:
My goal is to automate the script diego's pseudo-hdr-effect on windows 10 using python-fu

Could this be the same problem zero was having?

Possibly Erisian, yes...

Check for duplicates of .dll files in your C:\Users\admin\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins ..and dll's in your C:\...\gmic_gimp_qt folder, if so delete from the plug-ins folder and leave alone the ones in the gmic_gimp_qt folder. That could be a solution.

in C:\Users\admin\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins, there is only one directory gmic_gimp_qt
so if there are duplicated dll, i need to have another directory

Remove the zlib1.dll in your "gmic_gimp_qt" folder and restart GIMP.

I remove zlib1.dll and restart GIMP. The Gmic-retinex works well.

BUT, when i launch a "previously working script", i have a bunch of errors:
