[mapguide-internals] Re: 32 bit installer on build machine

[UV]

Why is there no README file in the Installer top level directory with 
this information?
I could never find any info on how to get it to work so I gave up using 
this and had to install manually!

Documentation is essential! Whats the point of writing code nobody else 
can use?
