OK. It was when you wrote using windows 8.1 pro I assumed pro = 64 bit Windows. The partha version is 64 bit only.
Unfortunately, the present version from gimp.org which is a dual 64/32 bit 'universal' Windows installer is broken for the 32 bit install. Who knows when it will be fixed.
Two choices,
Install a Gimp 2.8.22
You can get one here: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.g...-setup.exe 85 MB
or
There is a 'portable' Gimp 2.10.2 32 bit from https://samjcreations.blogspot.com/ about half way down the page. direct http://www.aljacom.com/~gimp/Gimp-2.10_3...ortable.7z 140 MB unzip somewhere, make a shortcut to one of the several 'language' launchers.
Hope you get something working.
