Emacs packaged in Microsoft Installer (msi) format Starting with: * windows build of Emacs from http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html * EmacsSetupHelper-0.79 from http://www.student.lu.se/~tps95lbn/Emacs/emacs.html * packaging hints from http://www.commalg.org/m2win.shtml * using Advanced Installer 2.5.1 from http://advancedinstaller.com/ I used the professional edition, but a free version is available too. I packaged Emacs in Microsoft Installer (.msi) format (so we could deploy via Active Directory/Group Policy) in: Emacs-21.3-5.zip To install, simply unpack each, and run the .exe file. NOTE: These packages have been tested only on WindowsXP(SP2), but (at least in theory) should install, run, uninstall fine on pretty much any version of Windows (>= Win95) I also provide the source and Advanced Installer project (.aip) files: Emacs-21.5-src.zip Enjoy. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or feedback.
