+## The MSI installer is only available in 64 bit version
+
+Microsoft ended support for Windows 7, so only 64 bit Windows OSs are
+officially supported. Thus only a 64 bit MSI installer will be
+provided going forward. People needing a 32 bit version can build
+their own with the `msi/createmsi.py` script in Meson's source
+repository.
