Which Win Vim is which?

I wanted to test something on Win32 Vim, so I went to download it, and
found, on http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc:

"""
PC: MS-DOS and MS-Windows

Since there are so many different versions of MS operating systems,
there are several versions of Vim for them.
[...]

Self-installing executable gvim##.exe gvim72.exe
For Vim 6 and later. This includes a GUI version of Vim - with
many features and OLE support - and all the runtime files.
[...]
For the latest version with all patches included see Cream
below. These versions are unofficial, [...]

[...]
Alternate distributions

For an unofficial version that does include all the latest patches and
optionally a bit more: Cream. The "one-click installer" mentioned
includes the Cream changes. For the "real Vim" use the "without Cream"
version listed further down.
"""

It seems like the mentions of 'listed further down' and/or "without
Cream" are outdated. Is the "without Cream" version the Self-installing
executable?
