Ok, I should be responsible for EmacsW32 I guess.

Will, exactly what packages from EmacsW32 have you tried? I want the 
name of the setup files. I might have made some mistake. I often check 
my patches with the unpatched version first. I should not upload those 
tests of course, but I might have done that by mistake. (Eh, I have to 
put in some test in my routines so this does not happen.)

The unpatched version should really be the just the standard 
distribution (from CVS) compiled + optionally the EmacsW32 files but 
those should not be involved here at all.

If you copy that output and just do

  C:\> dir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Emacs\emacs/bin/runemacs.exe"

what do you get?
