Comment(by hamish):

 I still wonder if failure to select the box for installing the
 redistributables should trigger an extra page in the installer wizard
 offering the user the chance to go back and change their mind, or else it
 might not work. It's easy to click past..

 I tried to move the "[ ] Important Microso..." to the # 2 position above
 the sample data sets via the "Section Descriptions" list, but that didn't
 do it. maybe the entire Function+Section needs to be moved higher up in
 the installer script?


 I don't see the 80,90 dlls installed anywhere, perhaps these will fail:
 {{{
 libpq.dll       req's  msvcr80.dll
 tk85.dll        req's  msvcr90.dll
 geotiff.dll     req's  msvcp90.dll
 (just a sample, probably others too)
 }}}
 ?

 (and I'm still not sure what files & where the 2005 and 2008 .exe
 installers install. It probably doesn't hurt, but AFAICT the ones we need
 are just copied directly to extralib from the tarball, plus the 100.dlls
 from the 2010.exe installer)


 thanks,
 Hamish
