I checked this on a Windows 7 64 bit computer. GIMP downloaded from 
http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ using the link Download GIMP 2.8.14.
Searching my computer I found the libgimpui-2.0-0.dll file where GIMP is 
installed, i.e. C:\Program\GIMP-2.8\GIMP 2\32\bin and in 
C:\Program\GIMP-2.8\GIMP 2\bin. (The search field in the upper right 
corner of the file browser).
I know nothing about Surface Pro 3, but perhaps you will find the file 
somewhere in your tablet. If you do, it is a good reason to believe that 
this is a GIMP bug as Jehan mentions. (The file is there but GIMP does 
not find it).
