I originally reported that setup.exe would let me choose packages to install, but the "next" button was always disabled so I couldn't actually install anything.

One suggestion I received was to run setup.exe with the -5 command-line option (suppress MD5 verification).  I finally got a chance to try that, and it worked.  I could choose packages, and the "next" button was enabled so I could go ahead and complete the installation.

I don't understand why this is necessary--when I let it do the MD5 verification, there are no errors that I can see--but hopefully this will serve as a hint that eventually leads to finding the real problem.

Thanks for the help!
