As well as forgetting to uninstall Windows first, this is a perfect example
of how not to do a build and install. The Local/Makefile mentioned goes as
a subpath of the unpacked exim-4.10 directory (so /tmp/Local is definitely
not the right place for it). I'm not convinced that your make did go OK if
there is no exim binary, though.

A couple of points, please can you
a) wrap your lines at ~76 chars, or use a sensible content-type
b) note that directory separators are not '\\' but '/'
