I did another installation using the latest Windows-installer from the URL indicated in this bug report.
The installer now moans that I shouldn't install Spotify with Administrator privileges.
I am assuming that the bug is not reproducible anymore.
I managed to get past that issue by manually patching the FULL installer. After installation completed, Spotify displayed a mangled login page that I managed to fix by forcing a re-render by slightly resizing the window.
However after login, Spotify still displayed a few crash messages and closed after a few seconds.
Here's how to do the patching:
Download the ~57 MB full installer (not the < 1 MB web installer) from the following link: https://download.scdn.co/SpotifyFullSetup.exe
Then using a hex editor go down to address 0x00002AA4 and replace the following byte sequence:
Address: Original Byte: Replace With: 00002AA4 E8 B0 00002AA5 15 01 00002AA6 0E 90 00002AA7 00 90 00002AA8 00 90
Then save and run. That should let you complete the installation successfully, however there is another issue that keeps it from running. I've attached the log.
