The dual 64/32 bit Gimp 2.10.2 Windows installer from gimp.org is broken as far
as the 32 bit side is concerned. Hopefully rectified on the next release.

Until it is fixed, there is a 32 bit Windows 2.10 'portable' Unpack, make a
shortcut to one of the language launchers.

As far as 64 bit is concerned, check that all old files from previous
installations have gone. This post illustrates one users problem.
