Maybe I should point out that this is the same version that comes with 
EmacsW32 (see http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EmacsW32). I would 
be interested in how the installation done by EmacsW32 works for you. Do 
you want to try that?

Please notice that in order for this to work with later versions of 
EmacsW32 you must be using the not yet released version 22 of Emacs. 
(There is also an early version of EmacsW32 that works together with 
Emacs 21.3 but I do not remember exactly how that works any more.)
