RE: Unable to run 64-bit GNU Emacs 25.3 on Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1

Hi,

According to the documentation for ScriptFreeCache at 
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd319121(v=vs.85).aspx,

configure.ac appears to pass -lgdi32 before -lusp10.  Maybe this is the cause 
of the problem?

I am also unable to run 64-bit ENU Emacs 25.3. I got this error message:

"The procedure entry point ScriptFreeCache could not be located in the dynamic 
link library GDI32.dll".

Hi,

After unpacking https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-25.3-x86_64.zip 
using Info-ZIP's UnZip 6.00 on a system running Windows 7 Professional Service 
Pack 1, nothing happens when I run runemacs.exe.  I've tried running it from 
Windows Explorer, a Command Prompt window, and a Git Bash window.  I've checked 
the signature of the .ZIP file using the key whose fingerprint is 8493 0FFB 
79B6 45F7 DEA2  9AD0 AC6D D3FF D1D0 46BD.

When I perform the same steps using either 
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-25.2-x86_64.zip or 
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-25.3-i686.zip, Emacs starts 
successfully.
