I believe that maybe the fact that HP installer didn’t add the directory to my 
path is spurious:

·        I unpacked the files to the wrong directory; then moved them.  Of 
course that put the PATHs out of date

·        HP installer changed my *system* settings not *user* settings, so I 
didn’t see the settings at all.

So that part may be my fault.  But still, better documentation on the HP site, 
of what’s included and where binaries are, would be v useful.

That seems like an oversight - I can't think of a good reason to have them in a 
different bin directory.
