     Hi Don, The setup was supposed to give you choices on where you wanted it to install, what program group you wanted start menus under, and confirm that you wanted to install.

       Hi Don, I'd love it if you would set up the project on sourceforge. I know nothing about sourceforge specifically, although I've use source code control systems for many years.
