Hi,

I haven't tried out the program yet, I am still installing it. I still have one remark on the installation - if your internet connection is via proxy, curl is not able to download the files.
I do not know how often this happens - as far as I see nobody complaint about this, so I not sure that a patch is needed.
However if someone needs to fix it - add to all lines in the bat file that start with curl, the "-x myproxy:myport" option.
E.g.:
curl http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7/python-2.7.msi -o python.msi
becomes:
curl -x proxy:8080 http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7/python-2.7.msi -o python.msi

Regards
