How do I install and run Emacs 21.4 or any other version in Windows 7? I have been able to unpack the TAR files but I cannot get it to install or run. You seem to have made this more difficult than it should be. Installing Emacs on Windows easy 95B in 2000 was really easy and on Windows 2000 in 2002 was really easy. 2. Is there a fully compiled version of Emacs for Windows 7? I do not want to have to dig for the Emacs CD that is in storage right now and which I bought from CompUSA back in 2000.
