The installer that we are using from MirrorMed is very terse, and not closely 
coupled with the Care2x project.  Kaloyan and Latorilla have done a great job 
making it work with the project, but it hit a brick wall with Win32 and PHP5.  
This is no fault of theirs, but tearing it apart would take longer than simply 
coding a new one.

I borrowed the tests and interface code for the current installer and began 
building a new one, detached from session handling stuff.  This new one will be 
just as configurable but with much cleaner and more stable code.

Please check out the setup folder in the php5_compatibility branch at your 
convenience and give it a test run.  No changes will be made to the system 
(it's not done yet).  Scroll down and seek the messages, warnings, and error 
blocks in the global var dump to see how your system measured up.  The versions 
file in the old installer is now in the setup/input folder named action_list.  
Kaloyan, check this file out  and make sure you understand what I have done so 
far.

I will be working more on this over the next two-three weeks, at which time we 
should have a solid native installer.

Have a nice day --Brian Zab
