This seems difficult :-( (unlike Linux, where everything works out of the 
box). I have no access to any computer running MS Windows.

Please do some investigations.

1. What is the output of the script detect_maxima? Does it agree with the 
version(s) of maxima you have installed on your system, and lisp(s) on 
which it/they run?

2. What arguments are passed to tm_maxima? Insert something like
echo $1 $2 > /tmp/foo
near the beginning of tm_maxima, and send me the contents of foo.

After that, we'll see at which stage things go wrong.
