I downloaded Auto-Complete from here:
http://github.com/m2ym/auto-complete/downloads
http://github.com/m2ym/auto-complete/downloads , I placed them in my
load-path (C:\...Application Data\.emacs.d\plugins\auto-complete-1.0), and
added the following to my .emacs:
;; load auto complete
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/plugins/auto-complete-1.0")
(require 'auto-complete)
(global-auto-complete-mode t)
but a message shows up:
.emacs:53:1:Error: Cannot open load file: auto-complete

I don't know auto-complete, but maybe auto-complete-1.0 contains a lisp
subdir? If so, then this has to be put in load-path.
Bye,

It looks like the path (or the files Emacs expects to find at that
path) is invalid.
Try using the full path to auto-complete instead of the "~/" shortcut
to see if the tilda is what's throwing you off.
If auto-complete loads properly when you insert the full path, it's
probably that your home directory isn't set correctly in Emacs on
Windows. Try Googling for something like "emacs windows home
directory registry"; there's a registry setting for your home
directory that might help you.
