RE: Re: Change in the Windows installer

But my understanding is that you don't need to do anything with the
debug-symbols except install them, and they will kind of automatically
provide the developer with more useful traces from crashdumps and such.
Right? or wrong?

I think you should get rid of them from the installer completely, since
it will reduce the size of the download. Most users will never need
debug symbols, and someone diligent enough to figure out what to do with
debug symbols will probably be happy enough to download them.
