Installer program? emacs-setup.exe?

Dunno what "Emacs-27 snapshot code" means. A snapshot is
typicaly something passive: one frame from a time stream.
Presumably you wanted to communicate that they each install
Emacs reflecting the source code at a given moment in time.
But that's clear anyway from the dates.
Anyway, it was just a suggestion, to help avoid confusion.
Call them freds, if you like.
