Hard to tell by eyeball alone; experimenting is your friend.

Now that you know that the error happens with a vimrc and not without
it, first try starting Vim as

gvim -u NORC -N

If that alone is enough to prevent the GUI from starting (it shouldn't),
the 'nocompatible' setting makes a difference.

Otherwise, start commenting (by if 0 ... endif) about half of your
vimrc, not straddling the boundary of another if- while- for- function-
or try-range (i.e. none of these or similar multiline statements should
be partly instide the :if 0 and partly outside it). Then comment or
uncomment smaller and smaller parts until you have (hopefully) narrowed
down the problem zone to just one line.

Best regards,
Tony.
