No, there's a real, honest to Windows, setup.exe file. I can email it if you like. It's about 237 Mb. I'm sorry I don't have the uri for where I got it immediately at hand. I came across it while doing the SSH on Windows evaluations for ACB earlier this week. The installer is quite accessible. There are one or two screens where I lost focus and had to Alt-TAB my way around the open apps in order to continue. You get a list of ftp/http mirrors to select from for the installation. As you can imagine, installing 215 Mb over the net isn't a quick job. I have a 1.5 Mb ADSL connection and my install took around 10-12 minutes.
