Unfortunately I don't own a Windows machine, nor do I have arbitrary access
to one to do this.

But if someone who has Pd-extended installed will test installing and then
uninstalling Purr Data, that would be enough to confirm or allay your fear.

Yes, it's possible.  You can follow the build instructions here:


That will create an *.exe installer, but it will also leave a full version of
Purr Data in purr-data/packages/win32_inno/build.  If you look inside
purr-data/packages/win32_inno/build there should be a .com or .exe you
can click to start the program.

In fact if you want to go that route, you can just install msys2 and ignore the
instructions to install inno setup.  The tar_em_up.sh script will ultimately
fail, but you should still end up with everything inside the build/ directory.

So the initial release will be runnable on Windows XP, and on both 64-bit and 
32-bit versions of Windows.  Probably after that the best thing is to drop XP
support, and just use a 32-bit binary of the most recent version of nw.js for all
Windows versions.

> doesn't it make more sense to have a 64 bit versions for windows, and not dropping XP support? One of the most amazing thing about Pd is that it can run anywhere, I'm sure someone will be bummed out for not being able to install in on XP

I can wait a little longer-- at most until nw.js bumps the LTS version.
