Beats me, I have installed that version any number of times in Win7 and Win 10.
You could try the portable version from portableapps
https://portableapps.com/apps/graphics_p...p_portable
They reverted back to Gimp 2.8.22 because of 32 bit issues.

Maybe not but you might still have your old Gimp 2.8 profile
C:\Users\your-name\.gimp-2.8 Any resources - scripts - brushes - etc can be re-used.
Edit: Willing to bet you still have left over files from previous installations.
Have a look and see if C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\ exists and if it does delete it, try an install again.
I tried your second option and got the original error code. So...... I tried your suggestion of the portable and got:
I can't thank you enough, its so depressing being so inept at the techy side of things and being of a certain age that some stuff doesn't sink in.
Once again my heartfelt thanks...
Edit: Just an afterthought, I usually have incorporated the g'mic plug in, but am a bit nervous now as I'm not sure if this may have been something to do with the errors while I was messing around with the many installing/ uninstalling procedures. Thoughts?
