It shouldn't.

Not that I know of. Yes it's an installer, for ease of use, but AFAIK
it's rather clean as installers go. If Steve Hall, who makes it, is
reading this, he could give you more explanations than I can; but maybe
he's on holiday until after New Year's Day. If you want, you might take
a backup of what you care about, then cross your fingers (or touch wood)
while it installs.

Or you could compile your own, but why reinvent the wheel when Steve
Hall's "Vim without Cream" is such a nice product? Any Vim old-timer
here that still is on Windows (or, like me, has been for a long time)
will tell you the same. Well, once upon a time when I was still on
Windows (I think it was between Vim 6.4 and 7.0) Steve had gone AWOL and
I did some compiling. Vim wasn't yet on Mercurial by then, the part
about getting the sources in my HowTo pages linked below is more recent.

While away at a convention, an executive happened to meet a young woman who
was pretty, chic, and intelligent. When he persuaded her to disrobe in his
hotel room, he found out she had a superb body as well. Unfortunately, as
will happen, the executive sadly found himself unable to perform.
On his first night home, the executive padded naked from the shower
into the bedroom to find his wife swathed in a rumpled bathrobe, her hair
curled, her face creamed, munching candy loudly as she pored through a movie
magazine. And then, without warning, he felt the onset of a magnificent
erection.
Looking down at his throbbing member, he snarled, "Why you ungrateful,
mixed-up, son-of-a-bitch! Now I know why they call you a prick!"
