MinGW is one installer, like Watcom. If its really that difficult to run a single additional GUI installer, it should be possible to bundle it with Eu, like Watcom.
The MinGW installer is not like Watcom. It's a small executable that contains none of the compiler's files. When run, it goes to the web to obtain files that are missing or need to be updated, much like a "make" operation. It will even update itself when a modified installer becomes available. I suggest de-emphasizing compilation when describing euphoria to the casual user. The pro's who need it will know how to get it.
