I think ( or more precsiely, I *hope*) that you mean you need vmmaker  
to build osplugin; I've never heard of needing vmmaker to simply make  
use of a plugin.

Really? It should be ok. There's not been extensive testing as yet  
(difficult to always be on top of a moving target) nor is there  
(IIRC) a neatly packaged up bundle of all you need for windows. You  
ought to find that using the latest vmmaker on SM (vmmaker3.8b6) plus  
the latest trunk from SVN on www.squeakvm.org works.

But if there is a built OSPlugin available for windows you should  
just need to install it, no messing with vmmaker at all.
