Darin,

I'm afraid I can't quite make out: 1) what you did, 2) what you
expected to happen and 3) what actually did happen.  The new (Inno
Setup based) installer ("XEmacs Setup 21.4.19.exe") does not require
setup.ini.

Please download this file:

ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/windows/testing/XEmacs_Setup_21.4.19-2006-08-14.exe

and run it and then tell us what happened and if that doesn't meet
your needs, tell us what you had expected to happen.

HTH,
  Vin Shelton
