AFAIK, at least one other person confirmed that this new distribution fixed the problem. AFAIR, the problem was caused by the fact that libgccjit was present, but as.exe was not. So if you have libgccjit DLL somewhere on your system, either on PATH or in the same directory where emacs.exe lives, just getting it out of the way ore renaming it could be what you need. If the above doesn't help either, I suggest a full-fledged bug report, so that the person who produces these installers (that's not me) could investigate.
