I just downloaded r2248 from the link above and when I attempt to run
eeschema it complains that wxbase28u_gcc_custom.dll is missing. Whoever
provides these development versions needs to make the DLLs available. I
always build Kicad with the static wxWidgets libraries on Windows so
that could be a problem. Anyone else out there using wxWidgets DLLs on
Windows? Maybe you could get whoever provides these snapshots to build
against the wxWidgets static libraries to see if that fixes the problem.
