C-x v v initializes a process: (call-process ...) which leads to an error.

      apply: Searching for program: No such file or directory, ci

Doing M-! (shell-command) finds the script 'ci' of the msys2 installation
and returns the same output as called from mingw64 shell.

('exec-path' contains the relevant directory.)

Sorry for not providing the full information from the beginning. Hope this
makes it clearer and explains, why I assumed an emacs-solution.

Thanks again.
