[Martin v. Löwis]
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.

Worked fine here. Did an all-default "all users" install, WinXP Pro SP2, from local disk, and under an account with Admin rights. I uninstalled 2.4 first. I suppose that's the least stressful set of choices I could possibly have made, but at least it confirms a happy baseline.
I tried several stranger things, like installing over 2.4.0 but in a different directory. Everything worked like clockwork. I did NOT try anything that would have involved a system with various things missing (like lack of VBScript), but I did play around with alternate install locations, repairs, uninstalls, single-user and all-user installs, and I found no problems anywhere.
