old Windows binary for GBM package

Is there a place to an old version (GBM 1.6 or 2.0) of the Windows
64-bit binary for the GBM package?

In GBM 2.1, CV does not work on any of my data sets, so I reported it
to https://code.google.com/p/gradientboostedmodels/ . However, I would
like to soon continue to use GBM for a project, and I prefer not to
set up a build environment on Windows to build from source.

At least CRAN does not keep copies of old binaries, there is a version 
2.0-8 for R-2.14.x, and version 1.6-3.1 for R-2.13.x, but hese R 
versions are rather ancient, hence I'd suggest to try to learn how to 
install from sources, in most cases it is not too hard.

Or ask the maintainer for a fix again so that we see a proper update on 
CRAN soon.

Best,
Uwe Ligges
