emacsclientw.exe should be a GUI program, rather than a console program.
When it is run with no arguments, it should show a message box.
However, emacsclientw.exe compiled by VC++ 2010 express is a console
program.
It shows a black console window when it starts.

And it is.

Then something is wrong in the MSVC-specific parts of the makefile's.
When compiled with MinGW, emacsclientw invoked without arguments shows
a GUI dialog with an error message and an OK button.
If you could find out what is wrong in the MSVC build, please tell.
Most (if not all) people who track Emacs development on MS-Windows use
MinGW, so we don't have MSVC to try that.

MSVC does not support the -mwindows linker flag for making a program
into a GUI program. It only supports changing the source code to remove
the main function and put a WinMain function in its place.

Thanks for the info.

With help from Fabrice Popineau, I fixed this in revision 108022 on
the emacs-24 branch, and I'm closing the bug.
