I just downloaded and installed 301.13 from nightly builds. But it can't even start:

standard-module-name-resolver: collection not found: "drscheme" in any of: (#<path:C:\Documents and Settings\Chongkai Zhu\Application Data\PLT Scheme\301.13\collects>)

 === context ===
standard-module-name-resolver

Sincerely,
