 ## Installation
 
-On win32, we make an executable [installer][] available. On other
-platforms you need to build from a [tarball][].
-
-If you're on windows, download and run the installer. It should install
-a self-contained set of tools and libraries to `C:\Program Files\Rust`,
-and add `C:\Program Files\Rust\bin` to your `PATH` environment variable.
-You should then be able to run the rust compiler as `rustc` directly
-from the command line.
-
-On Windows Rust additionally requires [MinGW][mingw] (version
-20110802 is known to work).  It is currently recommended that windows
-development be done under the MinGW shell to ensure that the
-environment is configured correctly.
-
-We hope to be distributing binary packages for various other operating
-systems at some point in the future, but at the moment only windows
-binary installers are being made. Other operating systems must build
-from "source".
+(Currently, you need to build from a tarball on all platforms. A
+self-sufficient windows installer will shortly follow when it is fixed
+up.)
 
 ***Note:*** The Rust compiler is slightly unusual in that it is written
 in Rust and therefore must be built by a precompiled "snapshot" version
