The link on this page for installer executable leads to downloads list.

Ok, I will describe my actions by steps:

0. uninstall, delete, and so on all previous installations.

1. emacs src from CVS is ready.

2. download gcc-full-4.4.0-mingw32-bin-2.tar.lzma from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/,
unpack it to C:\MinGW\

3. download binutils-2.19.1-mingw32-bin.tar.gz from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/,
 unpack it to C:\MinGW\

4. download mingw32-make-3.81-20080326-3.tar.gz from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/,
unpack it to C:\MinGW\ file mingw32-make.exe rename to make.exe

5. download coreutils-5.3.0.exe from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html
install it to C:\GnuWin32\

6. download texinfo-4.13a-setup.exe from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html
install it to C:\GnuWin32\

7. add C:\MinGW\bin\ to PATH environment variable.
add C:\GnuWin32\bin\ to PATH environment variable.
Restart shell.

8. cd C:\Temp\emacs\nt\
C:\Temp\emacs\nt>configure.bat

junk.c:2:20: error: usp10.h: No such file or directory
junk.c:3: ╨╛╤И╨╕╨▒╨║╨░: expected ')' before 'pHeader'

9. download w32api-3.13-mingw32-dev.tar.gz from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html
unpack it to C:\MinGW\

once again

C:\Temp\emacs\nt>configure.bat
