[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Sorry for boring installation question…

I can't live without emacs, so getting it working is a pre-condition of usability for any computer I work on.  I've installed windows emacs on many other machines (windows 95/98, XP, windows 7 64-bit), but for some strange reason, am having trouble with this windows 7 32-bit machine.

Here's what I did...

Went to http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/
Downloaded emacs-24.2-bin-i386.zip  (not "barebin")
Running it, I get the error "can't find 'term/w32-win.el'", which is, indeed, not on my disk anywhere.

Advice?

Don't you see that file in the zip archive?  It's there.

What program did you use to unpack the zip file?
