OK, thanks.  I did exactly that.

No, unfortunately, I get exactly the same behavior described earlier: an emacs
-Q session with a splash screen and a displayed buffer *Warnings* with this
message:

Error (initialization): User  has no home directory

And no messages in *Messages*, except this:

Warning: Lisp directory `c:/Emacs-24-2012-07-16/../site-lisp' does not exist.
