3.0.21 x64 msi release

[ritmo2k]

Anyone know what happened to the Windows x64 msi build of 3.0.21?

https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/3.0.21/ only contains the tarball and macosx build.

It hasn't been made yet.

Is there an aprox. time frame for the release of the MSI installer?
Here at a university, we rely on this variant.
Thanks.

No. VLC is maintained by volunteers and things get done whenever they get done. If you require timely professional support, please get a support contract with pros rather than rely on the volunteer community.

The Nightly VLC version has MSI installers available, I assume that the nightly version includes all (very important) security updates from the last release:

Note that "downgrading" to the official msi release when it eventually gets released is not tested.

Hi.
This is my first post in this forum.

Any news about this?
Our big, municipal IT environment really needs a msi in neartime.

Somebody felt that it was appropriate to report me, a long-time volunteer, for pointing out the truth - that there is no timeline - and why.

What this achieves is further demotivating the volunteer team and wasting forum moderators' time (also volunteers), all the while showing your misplaced entitlement as your organisation is not contributing in any way to the sustainability of the project. Congratulations.
