Vim is an improved version of the vi editor written by Bram Moolenaar. The web site is www.vim.org

The Windows installer from vim.org doesn't have a silent install mode; however, the installer put together by Steve Hall does. It is available at Sourceforge. Vim installers from 7.0.146 onwards should work correctly for silent installs.

<package id="gvim" name="gvim 7.0.146" revision="2" reboot="false" priority="0">
