No, it can stay but you may have to adjust your path enviroment variable
depending on how you invoke emacs. I have two shortcuts on desktop to
native binaries, one emacsq with target:
C:\Emacs\bin\runemacs.exe -Q
and another emacs with target:
C:\Emacs\bin\runemacs.exe

http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-22.3-bin-i386.zip
or possibly more stable:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-22.2-bin-i386.zip
Unzip with absolute paths option.
