in my .emacs file I put

******************************************
;; Directory to put various el files.
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/includes")

;; Loading ascii-table
(require 'ascii-table)

;; Loading collection of generic modes
(require 'generic-x)

;; If you have own color scheme and don't like to
;; use emacs default I recommend to use
;; this package:
;; http:/www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ColorTheme
(add-to-list 'load-path ("~/.emacs.d/plugins/color-theme-6.6.0"))
(require 'color-theme)
(setq color-theme-is-global t)
(color-theme-initialize)
;; This is my favorite color theme.
(color-theme-deep-blue)
*******************************************

when I restart emacs I get
("C:\\Documents and Settings\\emp1\\My Documents\\emacs-22.3\\bin\\emacs
.exe")
Loading encoded-kb...done
Loading cl-macs...done


An error has occurred while loading `c:/Documents and
Settings/emp1/Application Data/.emacs':

Invalid function: ~/.emacs.d/plugins/color-theme-6.6.0
...

but I have a valid path to
C:\Documents and Settings\emp1\Application Data\.emacs
.d\plugins\color-theme-6.6.0


Thanks

You need to quote both args to `add-to-list':

(add-to-list 'load-path '("~/.emacs.d/plugins/color-theme-6.6.0"))
                        ^
                      quote

Without the quote, (foo) is interpreted as a call of function `foo' - in this
case, a call of ~/.emacs.d/plugins/color-theme-6.6.0 (which is not a valid
function).

Oh, right; sorry about that. The second arg to `add-to-list' here needs to be a
directory name, not a list of directory names:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/plugins/color-theme-6.6.0")

You are adding the element "~/.emacs.d/plugins/color-theme-6.6.0" to the value
of variable `load-path'.

Thank you. that fixed it.

Can I install Cedet and the ECB "code browser window" in my Windows XP box
where I currently have emacs installed?
I have GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600).

You could try. There are entries in the nXhtml menu (if you install
nXhtml) that lets you install CEDET and ECB from the devel sources
(which is probably what you currently want).
