Problems with the installation of ECB in Emacs

Hey folks,

I'm a computer science student from germany, so sorry for my bad english.

I use Emacs only since two days, so I'm not very familiar with this program. In the internet I found ECB and wanted to install it in my emacs.

I followed the steps, descriped in the documantation (file:///C:/Program%20Files/emacs-23.1/zusatz_armin/ecb-2.40/html-help/Standard-ECB_002dInstallation.html#Standard-ECB_002dInstallation), but it doesn't work.

The steps I made are the following:

First I add a new folder to my emacs folder named ("zusatz_armin") and in this folder I put the downloaded folder (ecb-2.40). So the total path is: C:/Program Files/emacs-23.1/zusatz_armin/ecb-2.40/

Then I searched for the ".emacs"-File, but couldn't find this. In which subdirectory is it??

An alternate way of installing EBC is descripted in the description step3 by adding some code to the subdirs.el
This file I found an added then

"(add-to-list 'load-path
                     "C:/Program Files/emacs-23.1/zusatz_armin/ecb-2.40/")"

But I couldn't do step 4 ("Load ECB by adding code to your .emacs:") because I don't find the necessary file. Can you help me where to find it?

And is the path right I added in the subdirs.el ?!

Thanks for your help and nice greets from germany! :)
