I found myself up triaging some things for another project I support,
so kicked off a new build.  These include pushes to the emacs-28
branch though today up to approximately 10pm US/Central.  I think
these new versions may do the trick.   A patch-set is attached for
changes to the admin/nt/build-*zips* scripts.  You will see that I'm
still building without -static; I haven't had a chance to dig into
that yet.

Would you be able to try again with this version of emacs-28.0.91-installer.exe?
In fact, all of the packages in the linked folder should work now AFAIK.

I think this should get a bug report (assuming it's still happening
with the above-linked versions).

This feels like a lower priority but maybe it too should be tracked
with a separate bug report?

I see you are already discussing this one with Eli; I'll leave it to
the two of you as Eli's thoughts appear to echo my own here.
