True enough, and hopefully Heath will send along the patches to fix the
problem. It just seems in this case that distributing a locally built
setup.exe is a bit like hammering a finishing nail with a sledge hammer.
Yeah, it works, but it takes far more effort than required to do the
job. :-)

I'm not going to send a patch because I only commented out a line of
code (and I said which file and line number it was, so anyone with the
source can do the same), and it doesn't fix the root problem: it only
suppresses an error message popup. It does make setup.exe usable again
in our environment. Since my users run setup.exe from the network drive,
all I had to do was drop in the custom one.
I hope my description of what was going on in the code is enough for the
maintainers to be able to implement a proper fix.
