If I remember correctly the Windows installer does not come with a
full sumo but a few well chosen packages for getting a working system
for a developer.
I don't know the reason for this. Maybe it is a combination of that a
Windows user might expect to get more of a working system from using
an installer and that the internal package system might not work that
good on Windows? If we get the internal package system to work
properly this shouldn't be needed.
Still there isn't one right way to do this. Packages can be installed
from within XEmacs and outside or both.

The truth is that if you want or have to build from source the
installation will be a little more complicated than if you have an
installer. This thread started out partly(!?) because we have a bug in
the documentation where it doesn't clearly say where to install the
packages. With that fixed we might not have been discussing
this. Fixing the internal packaging system so that it is stable and
robust will hopefully improve things further.

Someone on comp.emacs.xemacs pointed out that XEmacs documents, but does
not implement, the variable auto-save-hook. (It's commented out of
lisp/files.el.)
Anyone know what the story is with this hook? The OP assumed it was a
documentation bug.

Link? I’m not finding it particularly easy to google.
