[I have on my WinXP boxes emacs 20.7 & 22.1 under cygwin -- 
to show you that I am not a novice.]

I tried:
emacs-22.2-barebin-i386.zip
emacs.exe dies due to a missing file.  Sorry no details.

Took me too long to decide the problem is at your side ...

emacs-22.2-bin-i386.zip  
works OK

Not really:

|   + emacs-22.2-barebin-i386.zip
|     Windows binaries of Emacs-22.2, without lisp code or documentation.

|     Download this file if you already have the source distribution, [...]
