This could be a bug with \if_defined that one encounters if running
fontinst v1.926 (possibly also some earlier versions) on e-TeX. Check which
executable is being used in the miktex case, and try to use another (e.g.
tex).

It's not necessary to format the command file as a LaTeX document. The
above could just as well have been
\input fontinst.sty

And a simple \bye would do instead of \end{document}.
