I know from other posts you are keen on making a portable version.
That happens when the Gimp installer finds an already installed version of Gimp. It installs straight to the same location.
No use just deleting the existing Gimp, the installer looks at the registry and assumes it is there. Then it tries to run the Windows uninstaller, which fails because the existing Gimp has gone.
Try running through the registry and deleting anything about Gimp. That should get the 'customise' option back on the installer.
Did a little experiment earlier and I do not think Gimp 2.10 is as portable as Gimp 2.8 - but try and see.
Sorry, can not help with your inaccessible drive, I think that will be a Windows issue.
