My issue appears to be one of install permissions: I downloaded the
I-believe-current graphviz msi (I did mention I'm working in Windoze, I
hope) and get the following error trying to install:

1: ALLUSERS property is not 1 - this MSM cannot be used for a per-user or
fallback-to-per-user install

and I don't have admin install privileges.

Thanks!
