It looks like you are using the native variant of xemacs. I only use the
X variant and so I had no need for winclient.

Looking at the source, /usr/src/xemacs-21.4.17/lib-src/winclient.c, line
56 says:
#define PROGRAM_TO_RUN "xemacs.exe"
But there is no xemacs.exe in the distro, it's called xemacs-21.4.17.exe.
I'll try and patch the source for the next release, but it's not
guaranteed that the resulting executable will really work.
If you are in a hurry and cannot wait for the next release try building
xemacs by yourself and report back to the list.
Ciao
Volker
