Actually, Windows installer build failed so only XP builds which donot include MinGW 64 bit builds are available.
We should look into this, meanwhile nightly builds with the same commit are available.

To be more specific, nightly build identical to the 2024.03.01 release can be downloaded from here.

Oh, the XP build does include a 64bit VS binary, so naturally I assumed there's supposed to be a MinGW 64bit binary as well.
Since the VS build causes a crash in certain programs due to this fpu limitation in VS, let me also suggest making the MinGW build the default version for the Windows installer.

There are no working 64bit lowend builds so XP users have to bare that.
