Hi,

After unpacking https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-25.3-x86_64.zip using Info-ZIP's UnZip 6.00 on a system running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1, nothing happens when I run runemacs.exe.  I've tried running it from Windows Explorer, a Command Prompt window, and a Git Bash window.  I've checked the signature of the .ZIP file using the key whose fingerprint is 8493 0FFB 79B6 45F7 DEA2  9AD0 AC6D D3FF D1D0 46BD.

When I perform the same steps using either https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-25.2-x86_64.zip or https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-25.3-i686.zip, Emacs starts successfully.

Matt

Hi,

According to the documentation for ScriptFreeCache at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd319121(v=vs.85).aspx,

> To maintain the ability to run on Windows 7, a module that uses Uniscribe must specify Usp10.lib before gdi32.lib in its library list.

configure.ac appears to pass -lgdi32 before -lusp10.  Maybe this is the cause of the problem?

I am also unable to run 64-bit ENU Emacs 25.3. I got this error message:

"The procedure entry point ScriptFreeCache could not be located in the dynamic link library GDI32.dll".

Is this on a single machine, or more than one?

Presumably, it's a 64 bit machine?

Unlikely, since the binary of the previous version, 25.2, which does
work for the OP, was produced using the same link command.

Hi,

The problem also occurs on a 64-bit system running Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1.

The original machine is a 64-bit machine.

Please report this as a bug, this list is not exactly optimal to
discuss such problems.

But as long as I have your attention: does the Windows Event Viewer
show something about the problem under Applications?

That would mean Emacs 25.3 binaries were produced with a version of
MinGW different from that of 25.2.  Is that true?

I think so. At least there are some differences.

Not sure I replied. Yes, it is true. I update msys2 between builds.
