Perhaps setup-2.490M.exe (M for modified), or setup-2.490+.exe.

That should connotate the level of bugginess to expect, no? :)

It is not so much the level of bugginess - "snapshots" should communicate that just fine.


Rather, it is the fact that that binary isn't "2.494", it is "2.494 plus modifications".
