Re: Innosetup binaries for 21.5.32 and later

Biswajit -

Does http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/windows/testing/XEmacs_Setup_21.5.34.exe
(or http://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/windows/testing/XEmacs_Setup_21.5-2015-05-18.exe)
work for you?

The instructions (based on the non-free Visual Studio 6 - what're you
staring at?  It was released in 1998!) work for me.  If someone wants
to update the instructions, patches will be reviewed and approved. :-)

Regards,
  Vin
