            Feck me, it's like pulling teeth.

            7 zip won't run on the ancient box I'm trying to use.

            WinZip will.

            Extract exe file from zip: they saved about 453 bytes by zipping the damn thing.

            Deep joy.

              Do you think we might be pushing him into this too quickly?

                    I'm overwhelmed with the speed of installation of net 2.0 on this ancient box.

                    It's been going for 20 odd minutes already.

                      Well that was overwhelmingly successful.

                      It still can't find gdiplus to run the fecking compiler.
