Hi, we have a little mess with all the 1.0.0 versions. I'm working on it right 
now. 

However if windows build of Prewiev2 is labeled as Preview1, Installer will 
choose older plugins. It's the reason for what fTools for Preview2 is 
unavailable and the previous version is offered instead. So you have to tell 
Installer the proper QGIS version:

1. Reinstall Installer using itself 
2. Go to its directory: 
   C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\.qgis\python\plugins\plugin_installer
3. Open the installer_data.py file. About line 60 you will find this:

          try:
            QGIS_VER = QGis.qgisVersion
            if QGIS_VER[0] == "1":
              QGIS_MAJOR_VER = 1
            else:
              QGIS_MAJOR_VER = 0
          except:
            QGIS_VER = QGis.QGIS_VERSION
            QGIS_MAJOR_VER = 1

4. BELOW these lines insert the line: 

QGIS_VER = "1.0.0-Kore-Preview2"

Restart QGIS and now plugins for Prewiew2 should be available. Note that you 
need to apply steps 2-4 after every Installer update.
