Thanks for the instructions.

C:\sys\emacs.28\bin>set EMACSLOADPATH
Variável de ambiente EMACSLOADPATH não definida

C:\sys\emacs.28\bin>emacs -Q
Warning: Lisp directory 
'c:/msys64/home/Administrator/emacs-build/git/master/lisp': No such file or 
directory

C:\sys\emacs.28\bin>

That's Portuguese for ``Environment variable EMACSLOADPATH not
defined.''
