I was watching the Program Files Directory as I ran the install and never 
saw anything put in there untill after I supplied the /f2 option and it 
actually installed.  I just tried the -s option from the link you sent just 
to make sure it doesn't work, which it doesn't.  I assume v4 was probably 
packaged with some other installer package.

(sorry for posting with my hotmail account earlier.)
