I'm pretty sure that at that time emacsclientw didn't "just work."

I start emacs from a shortcut on the desktop with target:
C:\Emacs\bin\runemacs.exe --debug-init
Environment:
ALTERNATE_EDITOR c:\emacs\bin\runemacs.exe
HOME C:\emacs

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\open\command]
@="c:\\emacs\\bin\\emacsclientw.exe -n  \"%1\""

and this same string in many other places, as well as file associations
for about 30 file extensions, etc. Maybe the answer is as simple as
renaming C:\emacs as c:\emacs22 and then c:\emacs23 as c:\emacs. That
way all the paths should be correct in the registry. I may need a new
auctex and a few other things for emacs ver. 23.
