Re: Windows 21.4.5 Ready for release.
Thanks Andy,
Three questions:
The XEmacs package version number may well be different to that of
the
official version. For instance XEmacs jde 1.30 is actually. jde 2.2.7.1
1. Is there a mapping table somewhere?
[Somewhat OT: "WHY are there different numbering systems?"]

It should do this anyway when you pick a download type.
2. Where/when in the download dialog does one pick?
So I think this is your problem - you must use the installer to
install
the
packages otherwise your registry entries will not be setup correctly.
If
you
unzip things yourself you will have the problems you report.
3. Which "installer"? In the whole distribution I only find one file
containing
"install" (the magik /etc/InstallGuide, from 1997).
Thanks again,
