Do you have EMACSDATA variable set in the environment or in the
Registry?  If so, remove that variable and try again.  This variable
overrides the default place where Emacs looks for its data files (the
value of `data-directory'), including the charsets directory.

That's because european.el failed to byte-compile, probably due to the
problems with charsets directory.
