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.
