Subject: bug#22875: 24.5; HOME-variable not resolve in Win7
Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 19:38:18 +0000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

On start-up of emacs, the .emacs file could not be loaded, because emacs
resolved the Windows HOME variable to *exactly* how it was defined. That
was the text %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%. Emacs could not resolve these two
variables. The workaround for me was to manually change the HOME
variable to the absolute path (and to resolve the two variables %HOMEDRIVE% and %HOMEPATH% and restart windows.
