[AUCTeX] Installing auctex under Windows

[Axel]

I am trying to install auctex with XEmacs under Windows:

I have installed XEmacs-21.4.19, and I downloaded acutex-11.82.  I try to 
stick to the installation instructions for Windows, so I am using MSYS and I 
type:

./configure --with-xemacs='C:\Program Files\XEmacs\' --with-texmf-dir='C:/loc
altexmf'

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking for date in ChangeLog... 2005-12-17
checking for release in ChangeLog... 11.82
checking for C:\Program... C:\Program Files\XEmacs\^
checking if C:\Program Files\XEmacs\^ is XEmacs... cat: ./conftest-3516: No 
such file or directory
configure: error: Unable to run C:\Program Files\XEmacs\^!  Aborting!

To make things a little more fun, the number in "conftest-3516" changes every 
time I try this.  What is this all about?

Alternatively, I have tried downloading the precompiled version of auctex and 
copying it directly into my XEmacs directory.  However, the files auctex.el 
and preview-latex.el do not seem to be included in this precompiled version, 
so I can't seem to be able to activate the package in XEmacs.

Any hints?

Cheers
