I would release the beta with the available Windows installer, but would also mention, that because of men power this time on Windows there will be nothing better that beta quality. In the announcement you could mention that we are busy improving this, but that at the moment no Windows developer has the time to create a reliable installer and that we are very interested in someone who wanna help out. It would be a starter project which could be done without C++ knowledge.
