    Do you know what exactly made it work?

Uh-huh, doing what you do (this is your list):

    Extracted tarball to D:\emacs-23.1.94
    Copied admin from trunk to D;\emacs-23.1.94
    Copied makedist.bat from D:\emacs-23.1.94\admin\nt to D:\
    Ran makedist 23.1.94 emacs-23.1.94 D:\emacs-23.1.94\admin\nt

My drive is `C:\', like you mention below.

    One thing that is mighty confusing is that you cannot run the
    makedist.bat batch file from the admin/nt directory but you have to
    copy it to the directory that contains the directory extracted from
    the tarball, i.e. tarball extracts to C:\emacs-23.1.94, makedist.bat
    goes into C:\. From then on the instructions provided by the batch
    file make sense.

    Glad it worked out for you finally.

But you don't run makedist from the admin/nt either (look at your
list).  It's not confusing at all; thanks for your help.
