No.

To be sure, I checked in the zip file that I downloaded and lixpm is not there.

Now I downloaded emacs-29.4.zip. I have not installed it yet, BUT the
file libXpm-nox4.dll is in the zip

I forgot to write that I use the .zip file. Maybe the .exe installer
did not have this problem, and that may be why nobody noticed before.

Looks like this was the case, and it has already been fixed in newer releases.

Thank you for the support!

Cheers
