Same error. Did you restart Emacs after installing Grep? Emacs won't notice any changes to PATH while it (Emacs) is running. If you did restart Emacs, please make sure that you modified PATH correctly, i.e. in a way that will be in effect for all programs, including Emacs. In practice, this means you should modify PATH via Control Panel, not in the shell window. > grep -n -e setq ~/.emacs NUL > 'grep' is not recognized as an internal or external command, > operable program or batch file. This error message says that the OS cannot find grep.exe. You need to find out why. Something in the way you installed Grep is not right.
