GStreamer needs to known where its plugins are, you can either :

- use the --gst-plugin-path="xxxx" switch of gst-inspect-0.10.exe
- set the GST_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable either using Windows' GUI or
by setting it by hand at the start of your program (eg. using g_setenv :
http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/unstable/glib-Miscellaneous-Utility-Functions.html#g-setenv)

eg.
gst-inspect-0.10.exe --gst-plugin-path="c:\\install
path\\lib\\gstreamer-0.10" plugin_name

I can't remember if you need to escape '\' in the path above, but you
may have to.

HTH,
