I'm sure this would be interesting if it actually worked.  Unfortunately,
after
the installer runs all I see with it is some text that claims I can click 
on the
blue parts to follow a link -- but absolutely nothing happens when I do 
so.  Well,
not quite nothing -- the window redraws, apparently.

By-the-way, it's a VERY bad idea to name your installer program the exact same
thing as the program it's installing: the name should make clear that this 
is the
installer and not the real program!

I'm running Windows NT version 4 service pack 6a, with all the latest 
patches and
updates including IE 5.5
