Indeed, as I've stated in the other email, I've forgotten to upload one
of the needed files.

Copied-paste from the other mail:

In order to test this verion which doesn't rely on mklink.exe, here are
_all_ the steps you need to do:
1) follow the instruictions on http://win-builds.org/stable/
2) after extracting the zip file and before running any other command,
   download these two files:
     http://notk.org/~adrien/sherpa-no-external-mklink.exe
     http://notk.org/~adrien/yypkg-no-external-mklink.exe
3) rename them and overwrite the "sherpa.exe" and "yypkg.exe"
   files which are in "win-builds-bundle-1.3-beta3.zip".

These are the full steps which I've done myself a few minutes ago.

Sorry for the stupid mistake; I shouldn't send anything after 11pm.
