Should be fixed now, please test. The use case with emacs.exe being a symlink to another directory is not yet supported on Windows, I will add that later. (It's a bit tricky, as at this early stage of startup the file names are still unibyte strings in the current system codepage, so many file-name related functions will not work as expected. But using symlinks to executables is relatively rare on Windows, so I thin we can wait for this for a few more days.)
