Hi Brian
the scripts are not incorrect. They works for almost everyone,
but there is a unknown glitch on you machine,
eventually it is only a "false" return error that fools setup.exe.
My advise is an alternative way to run them and overcome the glitch,
flag the scripts as done and allow you to go on.

Marco
