This is the basic precompiled Windows binary. It contains only Emacs
and the libxpm library (this is an exception to the general rule that
third party components are not included, since correct display of the
toolbar and splash screen depends on it).

That distribution of Emacs comes with a lot of third party tools that
are useful alongside Emacs. Things like the image libraries, binaries of
GNU find, grep, diff etc. If you still have that installed, adding the
directory where all those tools are located to your system PATH will
allow them to be used by both versions of Emacs.

Yes. Suitable binaries for the image libraries and more are available
from gnuwin32.sourceforge.net
