I was asking why there was recently a number of people installing
without setup and then complaining when things don't work. I could care
less if someone has a system that is working smoothly for them which
bypasses setup.exe. I don't CARE if experienced users have something
which works for them. That very obviously have nothing to do with what
I was talking about. Go back and read my original question rather than
jumping into the middle of a discussion.

Ok. I stopped reading here. Anyone who actually admits to not reading
documentation and clearly can't even comprehend the whole purpose of the
question deserves no further consideration.
