Please have a look below, in summary: The Info variables are looking very fishy! ------------------------------ 1) Windows command prompt, didn't work ------------------------------ In the installation folder: runemacs.exe -Q => libgmp-10.dll not found By the way, there was no runemacs.bat in the installation directory created. ------------------------------ 2) MSYS2 MSYS, didn't work either ------------------------------ uidg1626@VSL7V7PW MSYS /d/Emacs/emacs28/bin $ echo $INFOPATH /usr/local/info:/usr/share/info:/usr/info:/share/info then $ ./runemacs.exe -Q => No Emacs GUI! No error message, next try: uidg1626@VSL7V7PW MSYS /d/Emacs/emacs28/bin $ ./emacs-28.0.60.exe -Q D:/Emacs/emacs28/bin/emacs-28.0.60.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libgmp-10.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory => No Emacs GUI. ------------------------------ 3) MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit, is working ------------------------------ uidg1626@VSL7V7PW MINGW64 /d/Emacs/emacs-28/info $ echo $INFOPATH /usr/local/info:/usr/share/info:/usr/info:/share/info changed to the installation folder: /d/Emacs/emacs28/bin $ ./runemacs.exe -Q INFOPATH seen by Emacs (before C-h i): C-u M-! echo $INFOPATH D:\appl\MSYS2\usr\local\info;D:\appl\MSYS2\usr\share\info;D:\appl\MSYS2\usr\info;D:\appl\MSYS2\share\info Info-default-directory-list C-u C-x e ("%emacs_dir%/share/info/") Then Info: C-h i => No emacs menu item in (dir) Top. Info-directory-list C-u C-x e ("D:\\appl\\MSYS2\\usr\\share\\info") ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you Dieter -- Best wishes H.
