I have downloaded and unpacked again, after deleting the two folders I
mentioned. This time there is
only one folder, emacs-24.2. Running emacs now causes the error message
"Creating directory:
no such file or directory, c:/emacs-23.4/.emacs.d/
I'm guessing that your HOME environment variable points to
"c:/emacs-23.4". You need to point it to an existing directory,
preferably one outside the Emacs directory (so that removing the
directory won't remove your .emacs file).
