Please send questions to the mailing list, not to me personally.

I don't know what you mean by "emacs system file".  But my best guess is 
that you accidentally messed up the permissions on some file.  For 
starters, you could try 'ls -l /usr/bin/emacs*' and see if the 
permissions look right.  Or you could just rerun setup.exe and reinstall 
the emacs package.
