I had a look at that installer, and it seems to install
gspawn-win32-helper.exe, but not gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe. I
don't know exactly which one glib uses in which case, but you could try
adding the latter from
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/glib/2.16/glib-2.16.5.zip
to the same place where your glib DLL is.
