One of the wrong things with this approach is installer itself (MSI and installshield crap), which is largerly broken on WinXXXX systems, and there are many people (including me) avoiding it and prefering ZIP over MSI.
I haven't tried the zip. (I considered it, but it was a significantly larger download, iirc.)
Other wrong thing is oversized bundle, which could have some of its components not synchronously updated (I mean you could prefer more recent MinGW but you stuck with this one shipped with perl)
There's nothing to stop you from modifying the path to point to a different MinGW. This is exactly what I do ... well, I have to, since I'm using Vista, and the MinGW that currently ships with Strawberry doesn't work with Vista. The MinGW website now has MinGW binaries that *do* work with Vista (and earlier versions of Windows) and, hopefully, the next release of Strawberry will include those MinGW binaries.
On all other points we seemingly agree :)
Yes, I think so :-) Cheers, Rob
