My point was not to have an adjective, nor as a comparison to XEmacs.
There is only one Emacs. However, it seems to be a style among many
applications to group by manufacturer. Either with:
"C:\program files\Microsoft Office"
"C:\program files\Microsoft Visual Studio"
"C:\program files\apache group\apache"
"C:\program files\Mozilla Firefox"
Some people on the list may express a preference to do the same thing
either with:
"C:\program files\GNU Emacs" or
"C:\program files\GNU\Emacs" or
"C:\program files\Emacs".
Others may think it's a bad idea. The point was not to distinguish
flavours of Emacs; there is only one Visual Studio and only one
Firefox. It's a stylistic decision that should be made explicitly, as
opposed to being stumbled upon. Microsoft's Installer SDK doesn't
describe what to do (although it is adamant about putting it in
ProgramFiles).
It seems based on the feedback (or is that smackdown) that
%PROGRAM_FILES%\Emacs is the location that causes the least discomfort.
Right?

Point taken. I guess I should have said "FSF Emacs"?
No, just "Emacs".
"XEmacs" is not "Emacs", just like "train" is not "rain".
