There is a long standing problem with how info files are packaged and
installed by MSYS2. I intend to look into this on the coming weeks.
Meanwhile you can `C-u M-x info' and navigate to the info file you wish
to read.
Please note that, until recently, MSYS2 emacs was distributed with
compressed info files, which require the presence of gzip on the PATH.
If you start emacs by executing `runemacs' from a MSYS2 command shell
you already have gzip on the PATH. The new emacs 25 release is
distributed with uncompressed info files so you can start Emacs from a
desktop shortcut if you wish (you need to create the shortcut yourself,
pointing at runemacs.exe.)
