Not sure where you got your info, but it is misleading and should not
put you off. "Installing" GNU Emacs on Windows involves unzipping a
directory tree, that is all. Download emacs-23.4-bin-i386.zip and
unzip it to e.g. the root of the C: drive. Then you can run emacs as
C:\emacs-23.4\bin\runemacs.exe.
