I am no Windows expert at all. My opinion, however, would be that the installer should be made available as soon as possible, probably in the Emacs archive. However, it should be possible to let it package the latest stable Emacs as well as the current developer version, and I think that making the latest stable Emacs release available for use with the installer might be a good idea, also leading to increased feedback. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
