When "Use IE5 Settings" is selected, setup will not *copy* settings from
IE -- it will actually *use* IE to connect and retrieve documents, with
all the default settings.

However, the command-line options only specify defaults -- the user is
free to change those defaults inside the setup session.

Make sure installed.db actually *exists* before doing this.
