I've already built and installed from source.

If I run the one-click installer, am I'm regressing to older versions of some libraries?

I was assuming that it made sense to run your installer, because there might be updates to some of the other packages you include.

So, I guess the real questions are:

1. Am I gaining anything by running the windows installer, given that I've installed from source?
2. If so, should I re-run the install from source afterwards, or is that unnecessary?

Cheers,

Harry O.
