Can runemacs.exe take switches like emacs.exe? What > EMACS_SERVER_FILE should be set to I don't know. runemacs.exe passes its command-line to emacs.exe, so command line switches= should work. Don't set EMACS_SERVER_FILE at all unless you customized server-name in Ema= cs. The error message does not explicitly state it, but you only need to d= o one of the things it is suggesting to resolve the problem of emacsclient = not communicating with emacs. ALTERNATE_EDITOR will always work, EMACS_SERV= ER_FILE will work if a different server-name is the cause of the problem.
