Is there a Windows installer available now, or should we still follow the instructions located here: https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=59388 ??? I'm still on V4.

Maybe your results are cached but that link is for the Windows installer.  Perhaps follow up in the support forum since there are ways to migrate into v5 that shouldn't be in an announcement thread.
