[MS4W-Users] installer changes

[Jeff McKenna]

Important update for those using the setup.exe installer (which is the 
overwhelming majority according to download statistics), I have fixed a 
difficult issue related to the latest installing-in-dir-with-spaces 
changes. Available at https://ms4w.com for download now.

Please always report any issues right away through the issue tracker: 
https://ms4w.com/trac/

Thanks all!
