I have the > libxml2 .dll (downloaded from ezwinport) in my emacs/bin folder. I'm guessing what you have in emacs/bin is libxml2-2.dll, not libxml2.dll, yes? The package on ezwinports has libxml2-2.dll. If indeed you have libxml2-2.dll there, this probably means some DLL on which libxml2-2.dll is dependent is either missing or overwritten by an incompatible version. libxml2-2.dll depends on libiconv-2.dll, so make sure this DLL in the emacs/bin folder is the same that comes with the libxml2-2.7.8-w32-bin.zip archive you downloaded from the ezwinports site. If the above doesn't help, run the dependency checker on libxml2-2.dll, and see which other DLLs in what directories it picks up. If you don't have the dependency checker installed, you can find it here: http://www.dependencywalker.com/
