You asked for:
> What is the full contents of the environment of the Emacs process when
you run that zapped binary?
My full environment contains a lot of internal information with private data with security implications
+ current directories
+ current projects
+ complete pathnames to various executables
+ firefox plugins
+ firefox plugin directory paths
+ windows directory paths
+ paths to ssh keys
+ complete specification of the windows image I am running
You do not need my full environment, nor would more than a few people give it.
And my full environment is not sufficient either. You need a knowledge of windows programming.
I cannot supply that. If you cannot, say so.
