What you say is true but in Phil's defense I should point out that it would be *helpful* to point out that some Windows users may have a problem with installation unless they do both the unzipping and installation from the same user profile. The users guide does give the steps that ultimately worked for Phil, but they do not rule out doing as he did in the beginning; unzipping as limited user, then trying to install as Administrator. It is, no doubt, a Windows problem, but is it so bad to help Windows users to avoid a potentially frustrating problem especially when it only involves that addition of a line of text as a warning?
