I can not get anything newer that Gimp 2.10.6 working in a 32 bit Windows so
just general comments. The problem might / might not be related to Gimp 2.10.14

Best to start with a clean installation of Gimp 2.10. If installed over an
existing Gimp 2.8 with plug-ins, including a gmic-gimp, the old plug-ins are
migrated causing problems.

The ....32bits_(old)/gmic_gimp2.10_qt_win32.exe installer is ***broken***. All
the files are there but in the wrong place. If you used this remove it and use
the zip version. 
https://gmic.eu/files/windows/32bits_(old)/gmic_gimp2.10_qt_win32.zip

The zip from gmic.eu unpacks to a single folder gmic_gimp_qt  The whole folder
goes in your Gimp 2.10 profile
C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins The folder name is the
same name as the executable.  see the screenshot for the files you should have.

That could be the problem - left over files from multiple installs. Although
that sort of error message often comes from a previous Gimp installation.

...or maybe it is just Gimp 2.10.14 non-compatibility.
