Hmm why 'download'? Do you mean the user needs to access that page, and
then click on the right link? If so, this is intentional so that we don't
have to update the link on spice-space.org every time a new virt-viewer
windows build is available.

Maybe the virt-viewer people would be ok with having a virt-viewer-x86.msi
symlink which would point to the latest release, and we could link to that,
dunno how convenient this would be for them.

Thanks for the feedback,

Christophe
