Try "Install auctex on windows". Hit #6 (rather high on the list, and it's #4 on Duckduckgo) is "http://www.ssc.wisc.edu/~dvanness/auctex.htm" talking about AucTeX 9.9p which was released in 1999. The instructions are all completely useless. The first two hits are from the official documentation, with the remaining hits running into the obscure pretty fast. So why prefer this search over the official documentation? -- David Kastrup
