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

I do not recall this error in previous Emacs versions.

2016-11-26 21:57 GMT+01:00 Márton Marczell <dalokmarcinak <at> gmail.com>:

> In both cases it says:
> #("C:\\Users\\Márton\\AppData\\Roaming" 0 31 (charset windows-1250))
>
> I configured the file association through the Windows 10 GUI interface as
> follows:
> 1. Doubleclick file with a currently unknown extension.
> 2. File association dialog comes up. Click "More apps"
> 3. Scroll down and click "Look for another app on this PC"
> 4. File open dialog comes up. Browse for "runemacs.exe" and double-click
> it.
> When I look at the "Command Line" column for the currently running program

> "D:\Program Files (x86)\emacs\bin\emacs.exe"

> with no arguments other than the filename.
