This may not be the best way to solve this issue but we need it quickly or participants cannot use nano (we'd have to use vim or notepad instead).

Otherwise the http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.2/NT/nano-2.2.6.zip
download fails with
"error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed"

Thanks for this simple fix. I think that's good enough for now. I do hope to get some comments on #56 --the lack of discussion is why I haven't moved forward on an improved installer yet.
But in the meantime this should at least make the nano installation work (though it won't do much to help with #55 :(

This is built on 32-bit Python/py2exe and will work with 32-bit Windows, fixing [this issue](swcarpentry/windows-installer#49).  Also incorporates [this unmerged pull request](swcarpentry/windows-installer#59), which allows nano to be downloaded over SSL.

I was able to successfully build the installer with this code change. This works correctly on Windows8 and Windows10.

We've been facing this issue with Windows 10 installation at a workshop in Sacramento. +1 to merge.
