Hi,

This is a very bad idea. Windows users expect that the installer is self
contained. It will create a lot of trouble down the line. Most download
sites will refuse to distribute the demo version.

We have no reason to hurry but we must to it well. Perhaps looking at
how others are solving the issue like Krita.

Bruno.
