> 5.mini_installer.exe and setup.exe? I can't execute them. What're they
used for?Try reading the source code - it has actually a lot of useful
comments.  Such as mini_installer.cc has comments on how mini_installer and
setup relate.

If you can't run them you might be hitting an issue some of us have had on
Visual Studio 2008 - where the build process corrupts the manifest files -
try searching the email archives for that.

Good luck,
Sverrir
