We need to know which is the problem: if it's what you suggested (start is not strictly a binary and `find-executable' cannot find it) then we can just remove start from the list of executable to be checked. Admittedly, I don't use Windows and I wasn't able to test the change on that system, but I made a research and I understood that "start" was a system program or something like that. Again, if it's not an executable, remove the third element of the "start" item in `TeX-view-program-list-builtin' and we'll need to fix it also upstream.
