OK.

How come?  I think this is the cause of your problem, but it shouldn't
happen: every Emacs binary distribution on MS-Windows must be capable
of displaying XPM (because the tool-bar icons are XPM images).  Do you
have libxpm-noX4.dll (or similarly-named) library in the same
directory as emacs.exe or somewhere on PATH?

The images should be under share/emacs/29.2/etc/images/.

If your installation lacks a libxpm DLL, then yes.  It must be part of
the package.

Corwin, any ideas or suggestions?
