#1, #3, #4: IIRC, the currently distributed setup.exe had some problems: 
it defaulted to the "PREV" version instead of the "CURR" version.

#2:  1.5b is marked as a "TEST" version -- but it IS newer than 1.5-5. 
However, since you specify that you don't have a setup.ini file, there's 
no way for your setup.exe to know that.
