Why do I get the error:

Symbol's function definition is void: completion-at-point

When I type :e (in evil mode), then use tab-completion to complete a file name, while using emacs 23 on windows.

I don’t seem to get this error on linux, however I would like to have it working in windows as well.

My configuration is available at https://github.com/arafangion/emacs.d

    The error is self described. Emacs doesn’t have the completion-at-point function. As @Arafangion pointed in comment to his own question, completion-at-point is introduced in 23.2.

    Upgrading to 23.2 or higher is obviously one possible solution. Anther possibility is writing an work around for evil mode to not to call completion-at-point.
