I believe the problem is that the Windows path with the abbreviations
in it is being misunderstood (whether by Tcl or by the Windows
filesystem itself, I don't know). Please try to verify if the intro.html
file is present in your installation; my guess is that it is.
If it is present, I don't know what to do, short of trying to rename
the items in the path which have abbreviations (and even if you
did that, I am not sure if it would resolve the problem).
Sorry I can't be more helpful,

PS. I have Maxima 5.14.99rc1 installed on laptop w/ Vista,
so it does work sometimes. But I remember being bitten by
this pathname bug with some previous version.
