OK, if I open a command window and run maxima I have no output at all.
Is there any debug option I could run so I can have a hint where it is
failing ?
I have no error messages and nothing happens. Like this:

C:\PROGRA~1\MAXIMA~1.0\lib\maxima\5.17.0\binary-gcl>dir
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 3C5D-4EE0

If I run the .bat file I also have no messages. This is the output (sorry
for the long output):
