I didn't change occurrences of "Installation von Windows aus" if they
were part of a sentence because - to me - these are correctly
understandable (e.g. "Für die Installation von Windows aus brauchen Sie
A, B, C, D..."). I only changed it when mentioned sole as a
headline/title because initially I wrongly did the grouping of words
("Installation von Windows || aus" - "Installation of Windows || off")
so had to read it a few times.
I also thought of "Installation ausgehend von Windows" but found it
rather uncommon/unnatural, although it would correctly reflect the
"direction" for the installation.
On the other hand, the /installation/ is done 'under/unter' Windows
(just not the /execution/ of Tails), that's why I offered this wording.

Sadly, I've > 400 emails in my mailing list backlog and don't remember
that discussion so I likely can't help.
