Both Windows installers on the Cream download page

http://cream.sourceforge.net/download.html

are self-installing versions of gVim. Cream is simply a runtime
configuration that requires a "regular" installation alongside. Even
if you get the wrong installer, default gVim will be available, and
you can't use Cream unless you select it's Start Menu/Desktop icon.

The only advantage to the non-Cream installer is it's console vim.exe
and related batch files. (Perhaps I should include these in the Cream
version so there's never a problem. Would it be too disturbing for
non-Cream users to have it on disk?)
