data-directory
"c:/gnu/emacs/etc/"

(emacs 23.3.1 is installed in c:/gnu/emacs)

% wc -l c:/gnu/emacs/etc/rgb.txt
788 c:/gnu/emacs/etc/rgb.txt

Note: On my Windows 7, c:/gnu/emacs is a Windows 7 link to c:/gnu/emacs-23.3
(so that I can easily install new versions of Emacs without
editing my shortcuts, environment, etc. - just switch the link.)
I don't think this affects anything because if I run

  c:\gnu\emacs-23.3\bin\runemacs.exe -q

M-x list-colors-display is still only 167 colors when data-directory
is "c:/gnu/emacs-23.3/etc/"

fyi, I installed from
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/gnu/ftp/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-23.3-bin-i386.zip
