This is, in fact, what I was doing before there was a change in the packer 
utility that I was unable to, at the time. build for myself.

I've just built a newer version of upx (and ucl, etc) and now I will start 
archiving setup, x86 & x86_64, (again).  Need to update my webpage 
automation to generate an access list, but atleast I'm grabbing and 
archiving them (again).

Thanks for bringing this (back) to my attention (again).

In general, though, unless and until there is a significant change to 
the setup.ini format, the most recent installer *should* just work.
