Hi Corwin, why --no-wait?

If you have a running Emacs already with M-x server-start, or in the
init file.  Then pointing the installer to

  C:\emacs-28.0.91\bin\emacsclientw.exe

without any options was enough in my case to get the test file in my
Emacs GUI frame.

(Probably there's a config file to specify this, I don't know, sorry.)
