The .exe and the *.dll files (and generally everything in the bin/ subdirectory in the zip file you download) should be either in the same directory where you have emacs.exe or in some other directory on your PATH. In the latter case, programs other than Emacs will be able to find the GnuTLS DLLs. > I have tried adding a path to them in my init.el with: > > (setenv "PATH" (concat "C:/Program Files (x86)/gnutls/bin/;" (getenv > "PATH"))) > (setenv "PATH" (concat "C:/Program Files (x86)/gnutls/lib/;" (getenv > "PATH"))) Don't change PATH from inside Emacs, that way lies madness. Always modify your PATH outside Emacs, before you start Emacs. Otherwise, the complex ways in which PATH interacts with exec-path and with commands invoked from Emacs (including those invoked via the shell) will break in subtle ways.
