Since you seem to have read the emacs.README file found near the Emacs
zip files, I fail to understand why did you type "make install"?  The
emacs.README file (you can find it as README.dos after you unzip the
package) never tells you to do that!  You just unzip the files and
begin using Emacs (type "emacs RET"), that's all.

"config msdos: and "make install" are for building Emacs from sources,
and you probably haven't download the source distribution.  If you
indeed want to rebuild Emacs, download em1934s1.zip before typing
"make install".  Otherwise, just use the emacs.exe that is provided.
