This issue you are getting has something to do with how UAC works, which 
is a part of Windows Vista/7/8;  As you have noticed, this issue is 
avoided if you built gtk-update-icon-cache.exe with Visual C++, or if 
you embed the MinGW-built (i.e. possibly cross-compiled) with a manifest 
(with mt.exe) that tells UAC that this program would not need to raise 
alarm to UAC (you can do a google search on this).

p.s. As we don't generally build gtkbuiltincache.h for Visual C++ builds 
(it is shipped with the release tarball), the normal Visual C++ builds 
do not build this tool.  It is built with Han's NMake Makefiles, 
though-if there is sufficient demand for building this tool with the 
Visual C++ builds, I would add a Visual C++ 2008/2010+ project for 
it-but it shouldn't be hard to do by hand as it essentially depends on 
GDK-Pixbuf and its dependencies, instead of any of the GDK/GTK+ DLLs/libs.

Hope this explains it a bit for you.

With blessings!
