Perhaps part of the problem is perception.

When people download an exe installer on Windows, they generally expect it to install something that works out of the box.

Please note that I am not saying it should be expected that there is a one-click (or double- as it were) solution for Windows at this point, I am just saying that people might ge t that impression from the download link on the front page, and the fact that it is an exe installer.

Perhaps if you put it in a zip -- I am sure the people who can find and follow the notes for installing the rest of what is required can handle zip.



Just noticed that pressing the exe download link on the front page actually takes you to the wiki entry now, that's helpful.
