The script gets invoked. If I add an "echo I have been executed" line,
it shows in the output. That's the difference with the aspell.exe
problem -- here the executable from msys2/mingw64 was broken.

It may not be that complicated. I just experienced the same problem with
a freshly new compiled Emacs, ran from a mingw prompt.

As I said above, the script does get executed. I hope it's not something
more complicated in the exec() code. Let's see if I can find anything --
hopefully it's not something as complicated as the Nextcloud
problems... And apologies for the noise this brings to the list.
