My reply:

 I was actually thinking along the same lines as Rodney Sparapani.
 I was thinking about the value of your HOME directory, not the
 installed directory.  What does:

 (find-user-init-file)^J

 report in the *scratch* buffer?

 Never did find the (find-user-init-file)^J but got me asking the
 right questions.  It was looking in a c:/users/hgeorgi/.xemacs and
 the directory didn't exist. I created it and was able to save an
 init.el file from my old machine and now things seem to be working.
 Thanks very much for your help. 
Good to know.

I've copied the list for future reference.
