Great ! It's good that Euphoria has an "official" windows
installer. 

To those who thinks it had to be written in Eu:
It is better that Rob can spend his time on Eu 2.4
rather than spending a few months on coding/testing/debugging
an installer. Euphoria isn't the only language which has
installer written in different language. And, for example,
EXW is packed with UPX, which also wasn't written in Euphoria
and is compiled in Watcom, which also wasn't written in Eu.
