I think I want this too. But, if the users want to install the
software at home, how should they proceed?

I think it was confused by my existing emacs installation. I don't
know how it could be however? I have no %emacs_dir% variable.

I think it's a great way to do it. But should 
Program Files\Emacs\site-lisp
be either
Program Files\Emacs\setup\site-lisp or Program
Files\Emacs\emacs21.3\site-lisp? 

Is this what makes it fail as shown above?

Will it work if users cannot write in Program Files\Emacs\site-lisp?
