Hmm, I just downloaded 
http://denemo.org/~jjbenham/mxe/denemo.zip
and unpacked it and ran it (under wine) and the new menu item is there.
the entry in the directory http://denemo.org/~jjbenham/mxe for
denemo.zip says it was new early this morning:

2019-11-16 05:02  165M 

and when downloaded the date stamp for the executable is

 4572336 Nov 16 05:01 denemo/bin/denemo.exe

(you should be able to see this by right-clicking and choosing
Properties on Windows I think).

My guess is some confusion with your download, unless you were
downloading very early (not sure whether 05:02 is Chicago time or GMT)
