David: Before trashing your entire system, make sure you aren't running any
mail programs. There's been numerous reports of programs like Outlook,
Eudora etc 'hogging' the Windows messaging queue. It seems just a touch
strange that double clicking on an .exe produces NO results or messages at
all. Try looking at the Task Manager once you've double clicked on it to see
if it's launched a new process. If you HAVE got mail programs running, make
sure you've closed them before running a setup.
