Sounds like at least some of your postinstall scripts didn't run.  Either
rerun 'setup.exe' and just page through without selecting anything to let
'setup.exe' run them for you or go to '/etc/postinstall' and run any
script there that doesn't end in '.done'.  If you do the latter, it's
best to append '.done' to the script names once you've run them, just
so it's obvious to everyone that they were run.
