Friends:

  I have download clisp-2.28-win32-bin from sourceforge.net. I extract
and put them into a dir, and start intallation. (run install.bat)
  It report these error information and seemed "hang up" in lisp
command mode. Who has encountered this problem? My OS is Win2000-SP2,
it's clean.

The install.bat step is optional.

edit install.bat and add "-E utf-8" after "-norc".
then the PARSE-NAMESTRING error should be displayed properly.

Note that clisp-specific questions are best asked on <clisp-list>

I've modified it:
     lisp.exe -B . -M lispinit.mem -norc -E utf-8 -C src/install.lisp
But still not working properly. It seemed that lisp exits without do
any nontrivial work.

The latest lines are:

 When `lispfile' is given, it is loaded and `*ARGS*' is set
 to the list of argument strings. Otherwise, an interactive

Default action is an interactive read-eval-print loop.

What's the problem? Or I've even don't need to run install.bat?

BTW: I extract the install package to c:\clisp\clisp2.28, I'think its
a valid directory, without non-ISO8859 character.
     I have also tried clisp2.27, it dump error: 
[pathname.d:6610]
*** - Win32 error 2 (ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND): The system cannot find the

There is no need to run install.bat.
Just create an icon with
target
C:\programs\clisp-2.28\lisp.exe -M lispinit.mem -B C:\programs\clisp-2.28
start in
C:\programs\clisp-2.28
with you paths

should result in:
  i i i i i i i       ooooo    o        ooooooo   ooooo   ooooo
  I I I I I I I      8     8   8           8     8     o  8    8
  I  \ `+' /  I      8         8           8     8        8    8
   \  `-+-'  /       8         8           8      ooooo   8oooo
    `-__|__-'        8         8           8           8  8
