I read this thread and the Bugzilla, and thought:
Why did we remove the old instructions?  They are for "Lenya 1.2.?". 
They worked well for Lenya 1.2.2: copy a publication and change the
name.

The issues being solved are for Lenya 1.2.3, which is a development
release.  Anyone using the Windows installer expects a stable release,
and should get 1.2.2.  If they wanted unstable code, they would be
using SVN, WHICH SHOULD NOT BE ENCOURAGED FOR FIRST TIME USERS.  Lenya
1.2.3 should not have a Windows Installer, and this issue should not
exist.

The developers seem to want everybody to use the last night's code,
but we need to make starting with Lenya as easy as possible.  That
means the Windows Installer should only exist for the last STABLE
release, and the download should be linked directly from Lenya's
homepage from a big graphic saying "WINDOWS DOWNLOAD HERE".  One
click; not 3 clicks choosing a mirror and wondering what "tar", "gz",
"asc", and "md5" mean while trying to decide which version is for me.
