Got it.

Where are the sources? I remember once reading on the mailing list that you
use VisualC++ to build it, right? I am both ashamed and proud to say that my
experience with VC++ is close to null... ;) However, I've compiled
somethings a couple of times already, so I might be able to give you
productive feedback afterwards.

Some additional information: setup.exe correctly identifies that I've
already downloaded the packages. Further attempts to run setup.exe skip the
download phase, going directly to the install phase (and failing exactly the
same way).

Best,

Andre Costa
