It works fine here.

The gspawn-win32-helper.exe program isn't found. Depending on your
GLib version. this either means that it isn't in your PATH (in GLib <
2.16) or that it isn't in the same folder where libglib-2.0-0.dll is
(GLib >= 2.16).

Run the program with the environment variable G_SPAWN_WIN32_DEBUG set
and you will see debugging information printed to stdout, like this
for me:

calling c:\devel\dist\win32\glib-2.18.0-2\bin\gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe
with argv:
argv[0]: c:\devel\dist\win32\glib-2.18.0-2\bin\gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe
