I removed the just uploaded 32 bit sendmail package for now.

For one thing, the 64 bit package is missing for some reason, the
other is that you didn't take the above into account.  The
Administrators account is only called Administrators on certain
language versions of Windows.  On other language versions, the
name "Administrators" is localized, for instance "Administratoren"
on german versions.

Please fix this before re-uploading.


Thanks,
Corinna
