Setting these up cured the problem. I am not sure I understand why though,
because addpm.exe set these values up in the Windows registry from which I
assumed emacs was reading them. Previously emacs was running fine with no
environment/shell variables set other than PATH. Anyway, it works now, so
thanks :)

I have the following when I run getenv from my shell:
EMACSDATA=c:/emacs/etc
EMACSDOC=c:/emacs/etc
EMACSLOADPATH=c:/emacs/site-lisp;c:/emacs/../site-lisp;c:/emacs/lisp;c:/emac
s/leim
EMACSPATH=c:/emacs/bin
EMACS_DIR=c:/emacs
Might you have one of these set incorrectly?
