With Emacs 29, I get a different message:
Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its parents
That's because the file's name and its default-directory are
incorrect:
M-: buffer-file-name RET
=> X:/C:/Windows/win.ini
M-: default-directory RET
=> X:/C:/Windows/
(where X is the driver letter of what happens to be the current drive
when I invoke Emacs).
