Ediff error -- Permission denied (Win8) |

It has been years I used Emacs so when I needed to compare 2 text files (they
are VBA macros, but I saved them with .txt extension. I installed emacs
(version 24.3.1) and used "Compare (Ediff)" under "Tools" menu. Then selected
"Two files" and I receive
"Searching for program: permission denied, diff"
I then open the files and tried to compare 2 buffers, but it didn't make any
difference.
I have 64-bit Win8 on my PC and emacs' directory is under Users directory, not
Program Files. Could this be a problem?
BTW, I also installed GNU grep, but couldn't manage to run it through command
line. I then tried using grep under Tools of emacs and it didn't work either.
I wish I had Unix running on my machine!
I will appreciate any suggestions.
