These pages are interesting

Indeed they are - and thank you very much for digging them up.
Setting $ENV{GIO_MODULE_DIR} to the location of libgiognutls.dll is enough to get that dll to load when the demo is run. At least, an attempt is made to load it.
There's a bit more to work through, but this is precisely the start that I was seeking.

I'll post (in this thread) the full solution when I get there ... perhaps preceded by some additional questions if the need arises.

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Rob

    It turns out to be fairly straightforward.
    Setting $ENV{GIO_MODULE_DIR} or $ENV{GIO_EXTRA_MODULES} to the location of libgiognutls.dll is all that's needed to make that dll locatable, and it doesn't seem to matter if one changes the name of that dll.
    Apart from that, I just need to ensure that all of the dlls that libgiognutls.dll needs to pull in can be found. This can be achieved by (eg) making sure that they're all in $ENV{PATH}.

    Cheers,
    Rob
