Hans, if you read this: is this installer ok for you too? (i guess you have downloaded the zip and extracted it manually, so there shouldn't be any real difference in terms of work)
Miraculously, I did read it. But I don't understand the question.
it's a wonderous world.... the question was: whether you can live with an interactive .exe-installer just as happily as you can live with a .zip-file. i haven't had a look at how you actually include Gem in the nightly windows builds, but it could be that you are downloading the zip and install it using a script, which might be unhappy, if confronted with an installer (however, you can run the installer in silent mode, which will be as non-interactive as a zip-file)
I manually download the binary and stick it into the rsync source that the auto-builds are built from.
It seems to me that it would be a better use of effort to get Gem building every night using MinGW, and then making a pd-vanilla+libs distro including Gem.
