Thanks for answer. I appreciate it very much to see someone putting
win32 binaries/MSIs to the public. 
May i encourage you to do it on a more regular basis? I think there are
more people out there, looking for such a beast.

That's great - I will monitor this place(es). Again i would appreciate
it very much, if the builds could happen on a more 'regular' basis.
(please bear with me, if by this I am asking for too much of your
valuable time - but if you allready prepare them and just don't upload
them because you think there is no great demand I will cry out loud: 'I
want them - really!' =;-) )

I asked for binaries/zips, because I am able and willing to prepare MSIs by my own.
And I am willing to share them with the community as well.
But (currently) I am not able (lack of programming skills) to build the
binaries needed for the MSIs by myself.
So - if you or others provide the binaries (and perhaps your initial MSI
sources) I am willing to jump in and maintain the corresponding MSI
builds on a more regular basis.
(I may have to enhance my MSI skills, but that's something I hope to
accomplish...)
