Hi. Coming to this thread too late to be of use, I fear. So it's
likely fine to ignore this "for the record" reply. Glad things are
sorted using the latest binary release. (Or please LMK if I may be
misunderstanding, believing that you are good to go.)

Both zip and self-installer (exe) had this problem.

Quite correct. Apologies for the inconvenience my error caused.

Thank you for reporting the problem. (And also for the 10m I just
spent playing tetris. Alas, I am not better at this game than I
remember.) Your report could easily have been the first indication of
the problem; it is much appreciated.
I will also note, in passing, the existence of this pre-release for
Emacs 30 (30.0.91) from the alpha FTP site. I don't know of any
problems with it, but I also don't know if it has seen a great deal of
use.
