Ok thanks Michael,
the evironment variable PATH is not unknown for me and now I know what you mean. In my case the PATH variable is set to C:\Mingw\bin and in that folder is as already mentioned a very old libpng12.dll. But the libpng12.dll which apparently caused the error message is inside of the gtk directory.
As I told I replaced in the GTK directory the newer dll with the older one and the problem was solved but now the newer dll (in GTK 2.3.13 package) seems to work as well. Strange!
Should I set up a new PATH variable pointing to the GTK\2.0 directory to avoid this error in the future?
