It's not my package, I just use it and wrote down how I installed
it. Credit goes to Kresten Thorup and Per Abrahamsen, AUC, Denmark.

There is no _emacs per default. You just create one when you need it,
as you have just done. Did you remember to copy tex-site.el to the
site-lisp directory (eg. c:\emacs-19.19\site-lisp)? 
                            ^^^^^^^^^^^
			    May vary if you don't use Oemacs.

Maybe Emacs is confused about where it's lisp files are. Try to check
the load path with C-h v load-path

If the site-lisp directory is not on the load path, try adding it: Put
this line in the beginning of your _emacs file:

;; Include site-local lisp directory on load path.
(setq load-path (append '("c:/emacs-19.19/site-lisp") load-path))

You get a lot of warnings about "assignment to free variables"
etc. when byte-compiling. Just ignore them.

: What can I do to get right installation? Thank you for your help ?

I hope this helps,
