I'd like to encourage feedback on whether the Windows installer works for people. It replaces the VBScript part in the MSI package with native code, which ought to drop the dependency on VBScript, but might introduce new incompatibilities.

Seems to have successfully installed for me on Windows Me.
A comment about the msi process: even though I set it to install to a different directory, 2.4.1c1 clobbered my 2.4 install. I remember reading something somewhere such that I expected this, but a quick glance at the obvious places for the 2.4.1c1 doesn't produce anything, nor does the install process itself explain that this will happen.
Perhaps its not a big deal, but I'd prefer the install process to inform me if it detected a previous install and intended to remove it.
Best to all,
