Error occurs when running chrome on Windows that was built on linux

Project Member Reported by qin...@chromium.org, Jun 28 2018

Issue description

Followed the instruction at https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/win_cross.md
to build windows Chrome on linux.

Build mini_installer and copied the file to a windows 10 machine, but it complains "unable to find local data files, please reinstall"
I also copied chrome.exe to the same windows 10 machine, and it complains "the application failed to start because side-by-side configutation is incorrect". 

Here is the gn args:
target_os = "win"
is_debug = false
use_jumbo_build = true

Building chrome with the following command:
ninja -C out/Release mini_installer -j30

.gclient file:
solutions = [
  {
    "managed": True,
    "name": "src",
    "url": "https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git",
    "custom_deps": {},
    "deps_file": ".DEPS.git",
    "safesync_url": "",
    "custom_deps" : {
      'src/third_party/adobe/flash/binaries/ppapi/linux': None,
      'src/third_party/adobe/flash/binaries/ppapi/linux_x64': None,
      'src/third_party/adobe/flash/symbols/ppapi/linux': None,
      'src/third_party/adobe/flash/symbols/ppapi/linux_x64': None,
    },
  },
  {
    "url": "https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/build.git",
    "name": "build",
  },
]
target_os = [ 'android', 'win' ]
cache_dir = None


I also uninstalled Chrome stable and Chrome Canary on that windows 10 machine, but doesn't help
