capabilities, described in detail below. To use these, unpack them
directly over the emacs directory structure. Note that, if
extracting with the Windows Explorer, you will have to override the
directory where it wants to put the file with the same directory
where you extracted the Emacs binary package.
Finally, and also optionally, you can run the program addpm.exe in
the bin subdirectory which will place an icon for Emacs on the start
page. (This is no longer needed in latest versions of Emacs, so we
recommend you not do that, as running addpm.exe will insert entries
into the Registry which might get in the way if you upgrade to later
versions without updating those entries, or would like to uninstall
Emacs.)

If you install the libraries in a directory different from where you
have the Emacs executable programs, we recommend to add the
directory with DLLs to your Path, so that Emacs will be able to find
those DLLs when needed.
