I installed Maxima 5.9.2 package for Windows on a PC with Windows XP. I started XMaxima and when I tried to run the help function an error occurred. Here is a transcript of my Maxima 5.9.2 session:

--- Maxima 5.9.2 http://maxima.sourceforge.net Using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.7 (aka GCL) Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING. Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter. This is a development version of Maxima. The function bug_report() provides bug reporting information. (%i1) ? integ

Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

failed to find info directory

Automatically continuing. To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil. (%i2) ---

PS I ran the same command with Maxima 5.9.1 and that worked as expected.
