Only the 3.16.13 MSI is broken (not sure if 3.16.12-2 is affected).   OSGeo4W
v2 was meanwhile fixed.   All other platforms are not affected at all.  The
next release is on friday and will also produce a fresh MSI.

I 'downgraded' the website to 3.16.11 and the website rebuild is ongoing.

Doing another MSI of 3.16.13 would be an option, but I guess as the 3.16.14 is
due on friday - it's probably good enough to just do that and sort it out
that way.

bbl.  Heading to the office now…
