Help me, please! This is my 3rd attempt at a clean install of EMACS/AUCTeX in Windows 7.
I'm following Joachim Schlosser's installation guide to AUCTeX but I'm getting confused at least on 2 points.
Texmaker is a free, modern and cross-platform LaTeX editor for linux, macosx and windows systems that integrates many tools needed to develop documents with LaTeX, in just one application. Texmaker includes unicode support, spell checking and a built-in pdf viewer with synctex support. Silakan Mengunduh File Aplikasi LaTeX Untuk Windows7 32-bit dan 64-bit Ketika saya mengenalkan aplikasi LaTeX ini, banyak teman-teman yang merasa kesulitan dalam menggunakan aplikasi ini. Masalahnya kita dihadapkan pada perintah atau coding yang sebenarnya sederhana namun gara-gara terlihat banyak jadinya orang-orang sudah pesimistik karena sudah terbiasa menggunakan Microsoft Word.
If I want to extract EMACS' archive in
C:/Program Files/Emacs/, what should the HOME environment variable look like? Mr. Schlosser puts a lot of emphasis on erasing spaces in the path-file but the other User environment variables all have spaces in their path-file so maybe it is irrelevant? These are mine, at present:HOME →
C:ProgramFilesEmacsandPATH →
C:ProgramFilesAspellbin;C:ProgramFilesgsgs9.09bin;C:ProgramFilesSumatraPDF;- Where exactly do I extract the AUCTeX files? Which files are to be moved in EMACS' folders and which should I leave outside? A snapshot of Windows' EMACS folder would really help me here.

I decided for a clean install, afterall.
As stated in the question, I followed Joachim Schlosser's guide (website guide in english + youtube tutorial in german).
I would suggest to anyone trying to install and configure AUCTeX, to first read the guide then download all the necessary binaries and zip files in one folder and imitate what the tutorial does (I don't speak German but I still pulled it off).
I had a couple of doubts regarding where to put the emacs-24.2 folder, whether in C:/ or in C:/Program Files/; I opted for the latter. Next, when you have to download the LibPNG binaries, it's better to download the all-in-one *.zip bundle of GTK+ from the link in Schlosser's website; open the zip bundle, go to the /bin folder and select only the *.dll files that Schlosser shows (just update the version number accordingly).
If you do what he does, things should work out fine. This solved 80-85% of my problems.
I'm still having problems...
- setting SumatraPDF as default viewer for EMACS only (AcrobatReader will be the system's default)
- doing forward/inverse search (this feature works for SumatraPDF but not AcrobatReader)
- previewing math expressions within the *.tex file
I'll see if anyone had similar problems here in SX or I'll post my own question. Anyways, I hope this helps others too.
