I unpacked the file.. It says: "You can run Emacs without any extra steps, but if you want icons in your Start Menu, or for Emacs to detect the image libraries that are already installed on your system as part of GTK, then you should run the program emacs-23.3\bin\addpm.exe." I dont know how to run it? And the bin directory in "emacs-24.2\bin\addpm.exe" doesnt exist either. How do I get it running? Many thanks, sorry for my lack of knowledge. I am just a stupid user, who doesnt know anything. regards Leo [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 1181 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

It sounds like you have the Emacs source files, which isn't much use to you unless you want to compile it. Try the zip files at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ instead (you want the "bin" file, NOT the "barebin"). These are prebuilt Windows binaries. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
