Hey Phil!
I'd just like to report that I've downloaded and tested this updated
installer on my "regular" Windows developer-machine.
It worked as expected, and I'm glad to see most of my comments from last
time you published an installer has been addressed :)
Compared to the "old" way of getting Emacs up and running on Windows,
this is a night and day difference. This actually feels "natively
Windowsy", as opposed to that clunky "ZIP, UNZIP... Get more ZIPs,
hope you UNZIP them the right place" Windows users were previously
forced to endure.
If you keep publishing these, this might be my new way to keep my Emacs
updated on my Windows-machine!
They -are- very convenient and with an installer like this, I believe
the basic installation procedure should no longer be a road-block for
Windows-users to try out Emacs. As such, this is a major milestone.
There's still the issue about the lack code-signing, and Windows' GUI
isn't getting any friendlier about that, but I guess that's a
technicality we can leave for later, when there are no other issues
to sort out.
Ladies and gentlemen: I believe this man deserves some applause.
Great work!
