Both, the installer bug and the lack of allocator in win*.mak could have easily been found.Bad bad bad bad situation for us.It's not the end of the world, but a good chance too think about how we could use nightlies or weeklies to bridge this gap.

I switched the installers for my workplace from NSIS to InnoSetup [1] and was very satisfied with it. In my opinion it's superior to NSIS.
