Seems to be a challenge to get DisplayCAL working on Windows at the moment, there's another bug report (#462) with multiple people sharing similar errors. I will say it works fine on macOS and Linux (the main dev doesn't often work on Windows) so if those operating systems are an option for you, I would recommend switching over. I will say that you're using a much older version of ArgyllCMS (newest is 3.3.0) so perhaps if you update that you may get somewhere?
