This is no longer our latest release. Please see our preview release page for more information.
Build: 7364c
Released: December 6, 2004

After identifying two issues with the previous installer (7364b), we have made a new installer (7364c) available. If you have already installed 7364 or 7364b, you can install this release over your previous installation.
This release has been packaged in a rewritten installer. Please be on the lookout for problems with it.
