Windows users may be incompetent, but not stupid. "No viewer found" is a *common* behavior whenever someone double clicks a file without a proper viewer. Any windows user knows that s/he needs a proper viewer to continue. In particular, your nothing there, install a program, re-configure, a menu item appear is quite *alien* to windows users. > The right place to help the user pick the right programs is the > installer.

A friendly reminder should be enough. Bo
