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.
