I'm sorry to say but the problem with the missing libgmp-10.dll remains
also in your installer.

I checked the Emacs-27.2 installer as well as the zip archive and both
are working as expected on this machine.

Some minor observiations:

1. The uninstaller isn't removing a link to runemacs.exe.

2. The installer has the Gnu(s)-Emacs image aspect ratio rather
   distorted.

3. The installer default is "c:\Program Files\Emacs" I think it would be
   cleaner when the installation tree includes the version number.
