EDIT: PROBLEM Persisted. The above solution didn't work. See my solution in my latest post.

I fixed this by renaming the gw.exe to be gw.exe.old and then renamed gw.tmp to be gw.exe

Ok after the latest update this didn't work, it wasn't creating the gw.tmp file.

I'm running Windows 7 and this is what I did to fix it this time

I ran gw.exe as administrator, this created the gw.tmp file then stopped with the error message.
I then renamed the gw.exe file to gw.exe.old (you could probably delete it, but I always like to have a backup)
Then I renamed gw.tmp to gw.exe

Then running gw.exe opened the application correctly.

Renaming the GW.tmp to GW.exe doesnt allow it to open though because it isnt a valid file?

It worked for me so maybe you have a different issue then.

The GW.tmp file doesnt seem to be working.

i got my issue solved by just running gw.exe as an administrator. it will patch something in the files. that's it.

my os is windows 7.
