The installer installs /native/, 32-bit OCaml compilers, that produce /native/, 32-bit windows programs. The OCaml native compiler ("ocamlopt") and tools (flexlink) requires a proper toolchain to be installed, namely the 32-bit one from the mingw64 project. This toolchain is impeccably packaged in Cygwin, so the installer will advertise the use of cygwin as a development environment. Some other tools require the presence of Unix-like utilities; OCamlbuild, for instance, requires bash to be available. This is also achieved by using Cygwin as a development environment. The installer also installs findlib. The installer does _not_ install any other OCaml library. This is the job of a package manager; unfortunately, there is still a long way to go on Windows. If I can tweak anything in the installer that would ease the life of a package manager, please let me know. This release fixes several bugs that have been mentioned on this list. - The Cygwin mirror is no longer hardcoded. The original idea was to save the user one more setup screen, where they have to choose which Cygwin mirror they use; mirrors, however, seem to come and go pretty fast, which probably explains why people witnessed packages which were not installed properly. - The URL to the ActiveTCL installer has been updated. - Flexdll has been updated to v0.31 - findlib.cmxa is now also packaged. The installer is available at http://yquem.inria.fr/~protzenk/caml-installer/ocaml-4.00.1-i686-mingw64-installer2.exe Please give it a try and let me know how things work. If everything goes fine, I'll make this the default installer advertised on http://protz.github.io/ocaml-installer/. Cheers, ~ jonathan
