A new binary has been uploaded recently (last week?) to the main download page

  http://www.gn-50uma.de/ftp/pari/00index.html

If yours produces a SEGV on

  factor( 2^(2^7) + 1 )

then you presumably have the old binary and you should fetch the new one
[ this was due to a compiler bug, not to PARI ].

Try \r ./myfilename.gp, or an explicit path ?

Try copying myfilename.gp to the C:\Program Files\Pari\  [ or wherever you
installed pari ], then double-clicking on the GP binary here.

Does \r ./myfilename.gp work now ?

The current version should say just the same. I'll investigate the SEGV
in case installing the new binary does not fix it.

But no hope of computing zetakinit() for this field with the current
algorithm, whatever the version. You might try Dokchitser's scripts

  http://maths.dur.ac.uk/~dma0td/computel/

[ once you've solved the \r problem, that is ].
