With Maxima 5.24.0 I had the same problem (never before). In my case it was two
wrong variables (prefix and maxima_prefix) in
C:\programme\maxima-5.24.0\bin\maxima.bat, that pointed to C:\maxima. When I
changed them to the correct values (the installation path), everything worked
fine again (maxima from DOS as well as wxMaxima)
