Two things...first, runemacs needs to be in the same directory as xemacs.exe.
Second, check your registry - the old installer modified two registry keys:

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/AppPaths/runemacs/*
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/AppPaths/xemacs/*

These two keys may still be pointing to the old install directory.
