Fixed now. And renamed from "Nightly" to "Stable", given this "Nightly" 
usually means master (at least on binary-factory.kde.org).
So the url is now: https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/KDevelop_Stable_win64/

Which was because no-one at 5.5.0 release time was around to give that 
artifact some testing (no one using Windows? :) ) to see whether it works to 
some acceptable degree, besides having passed build :)

Once someone (hint, hint ;) ) confirms it is minimally working, it can be 
uploaded.
