How do you invoke Emacs from that installation?

From a shortcut in my startmenu.

Target: "C:\Portable Programs\emacs-26.0.91-x86_64\bin\runemacs.exe"

Start in: %HOMEPATH%

%HOMEPATH% is set to \Users\asc

 

Are there any other versions of libpng16-16.dll on that system?

I ran the following:
$ find.exe / -name libpng16-16.dll
/cygdrive/c/Portable Programs/emacs-26.0.91-x86_64/bin/libpng16-16.dll
/cygdrive/c/Portable Programs/inkscape/libpng16-16.dll
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/emacs-25.1-x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/libpng16-16.dll

I found the old C:\Program Files\emacs-25.1-x86_64-w64-mingw32\bin on my path, removed it and restarted Emacs, verified that it was not listed in (getenv "PATH"), but no luck. I still cannot display PNG images.
 

Does pngfix.exe work (it should be in the same directory as
libpng16-16.dll)?

Yes it does.

$ ./pngfix ../lib/python2.7/idlelib/Icons/idle_16.png
IDAT OK  maximum 12 12 1070 2064 ../lib/python2.7/idlelib/Icons/idle_16.png

And finally, what is the value of libpng-version in your Emacs?

libpng-version
10634

Cheers
