Thank you, but yours was no different than the others.

It installed in c:\Program Files (x86) -- the default.
c:\Program Files (x86)\vim74\
and it contains all of the standard subdirs (e.g., autoload, colors,
compiler,...)
$VIM points to /Users/me
$VIMRUNTIME points to /Users/me

It created a vimfiles directory in /Users/me (/Users/me/vimfiles) with
subdirectories colors, compiler, doc, ftdetect, ftplugin, indent,
keymap, plugin, syntax, but they are all empty. The coresponding
directories under c:\program files (x86) are NOT empty.

Is this just a matter of an environment variable being (mis) set?

Thank you very much for your help.
