Our web server is now updated to handle .msi files correctly, so I'm removing
the
zipped installer from the Hugs downloading page.  Note, though, that you might

to configure your browser to handle "application/x-msi" files (extension .msi)
by 
saving them to disk

Please report if you encounter any remaining problems.
