Lets go right back to basics and tryat a low level
Open a cmd window and enter
1. cd "C:\Program Files\Maxima-5.23.2\bin"
2. .\maxima.bat
If that doesn't produce something, try
1. cd "C:\Program Files\Maxima-5.23.2
2. lib\maxima\5.23.2\binary-gcl\maxima.exe -eval "(cl-user::run)" -f --
What do you see? In both cases I see:
Maxima 5.23.2 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
