Another look at the problem last night. Still no success. It might be any number of reasons, administrative privileges, some registry entry, language settings, perhaps your virus scanner.
First thing. Are you using the Gimp Windows installer from http://www.gimp.org ? If it came from somewhere else, not a good idea, try the official one again.
Assuming the installer is OK and not corrupt in some way, have you tried using the customise option and proceeding step-by-step?
Gimp is a very self contained application, earlier versions were little more than a self-extracting archive. The Gimp 2.8 32/64 bit installer is a bit more complicated.
As an alternative, the Gimp 2.8.22 64bit files packed in a self-extracting WinRar file GIMP 2.exe. This still might not work on your installation. All sorts can go wrong, blocking by AV is one.
It is a big file 115 MB, so before trying, look at this short 2.5 minute video on use. https://youtu.be/h6RtB0HEdpQ
Then if you feel confident to continue, get the file from my storage
