I asked you what is the real name of that directory.  Can you tell me
what is its name as shown by the Windows File Explorer?  Codepage 1252
supports only Western European scripts, so if the name of the above
directory needs other characters, 1252 will not work.

An alternative is to install Emacs 31, if you can find a Windows build
of it somewhere.  (Or build it yourself, if you can.)  I believe this
problem should be solved there.
