This usually means the executable can't be found, but it could be
something else.

First, confirm that you can run Clisp from a DOS shell, totally
independent of Emacs.

Assuming that works, try running Clisp from a DOS shell under Emacs;
that will confirm that PATH is still correct.

Then, use M-x debug-on-entry to trace the execution to the point where
the spawn occurs, and look at the parameters.
