  BTW, if you run "setup.exe --help", it will (depending on OS version) either
display the usage instructions to the screen, or dump them to a setup.log file
in the directory where you run it.  (As indeed it points out at the start of
that FAQ entry you linked to.  Which was why cgf was hinting that you already
had everything you needed to tell...)

    cheers,
