I wrote the installer and I intentionally chose not to show the GPL license. The GPL is written in a way such that by using a binary you do not have to accept the GPL, you only have to accept it if you choose to modify the source code - and the source isn't even in the windows installer package. Plus most windows users don't care! And if you show a license which you know 90% of people won't read, then legally you didn't actually show them a license. Armed with that, a license clickthrough is a bit of a waste of time. Of course, distributing the GPL license text in the package is probably reasonable, just please don't force a windows user to click next to ignore yet another pointless copy of the GPL! btw, I tested it briefly. Very nice, well done for getting it compiling!
