msys is not necessary to use Axiom on windows - only if you
need to build Axiom from source.

How did you install Axiom in Windows? From the binary install
program or from source?

It sounds like the AXIOM environment variable is not set.

To check the AXIOM variable go to:
Start/ControlPanel/System/Advanced/EnvironmentVariables
and check that the 'System variables' table includes
Variable Name: AXIOM
Variable Value: c:/Program Files/axiom/mnt/windows
It is possible that Axiom was originally installed for a single
user only, in which case the AXIOM variable may only be defined
for that specific user in the 'Users varaibles for ...'.
