Thanks for the response. I have also tried it on windows server 2003
with service pack2. If you run the setup.exe directly without saving it
first, then it gives the error. Later I saved the file on the server
first and running setup.exe from there did not issue the same warning.
May be it is fixed for 2003, I have not tried on windows XP and windows
7 ye. However, running directly issues warning on all platforms.

Regards,

I once discussed this with Andy and felt encouraged to do so - after=20
all, non-expert users will not normally make such an entry because there

is no tool to do it easily (I think).
But I'll reconsider and maybe confine it to the stand-alone package.

Whatever update, please allow for a few days...
