ESS on win-32, c:/ .emacs error

[Rich Heiberger]

he easiest way to install ESS on Windows machines is to place the
unzipped directory tree on the machine in, for specificity,
  c:/emacs/ess-5.1.18/
Then add the following line to your ~/_emacs (or ~/.emacs) file:
  (load-file "c:/emacs/ess-5.1.18/lisp/ess-site.el")

It appears you truncated the parentheses from both ends of the statement
and therefore it wouldn't work.  Just pick up the line, as written in
the email, and drop it into your .emacs.
