Hugin 2011.2.0-rc3 binaries for Windows are now available. See sourceforge.net downloads page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2011.2_beta/
The builds are not Python enabled as I have yet to devise a method of distribution that reliably works without a local Python install. These builds are built my old SDK and should therefore be more stable than the rc2 builds. I will also publish builds with my new SDK soon for further testing.
