7. Installation package *win32-installer*
A simple installer for windows is available at http://www.vim.org/download.php
(stable version) and nightly builds are also available at
https://github.com/vim/vim-win32-installer/releases/
The nightly builds include 32bit and 64bit builds, have most features enabled
and usually also contain an extra cryptographic signed installer, so Windows
will not complain.
To use the installer, simply run the exe file. The following switches are
also supported: >
gvim_<version>.exe /S -> silent install without any dialogues
gvim_<version>.exe /D=C:\vim -> Install into directory c:\vim
-> /D must be the last argument
gvim_<version>.exe /S /D=c:\vim -> silent install into c:\vim
<
The default installation directory can alternatively be given by setting the
$VIM environment variable.
