Hi,

The new windows installer is prepared, I can release any day, but
there's still one critical piece missing: we need update.cmd fixed to at
least download freenet-stable-latest.jar from github instead of trying
to use the defunct downloads.freenetproject.org.

This is the file:
https://github.com/freenet/wininstaller-innosetup/blob/master/install_node/updater/update.cmd

We need this updated to download from github releases, similar to what
update.sh now does:
https://github.com/freenet/java_installer/blob/next/scripts/update.sh#L271

But if I were to do that myself, it would be idiotic: I have almost no
Windows experience (I never used a Windows computer as my home system)
and most certainly do not know about intricacies of Windows systems.

Therefore we need you to step up and go and get update.cmd to work
again:

- Access https://github.com/freenet/fred/releases/latest
- Get the forwarding URL to grab the LATEST_TAG parameter.
- download 
https://github.com/freenet/fred/releases/download/${LATEST_TAG}/freenet-${LATEST_TAG}.jar";

If we can at least get the newest freenet jar-file, we can go and fix
other things from there, if the switch to gradle creates unexpected
problems.

So if you have some experience with Windows command line shell, please
step up and fix update.cmd. This is the last real blocker before we can
go forward towards releasing next.

Best wishes,
Arne
