Also works fine for me with:

 * WinXP Pro SP2, from local disk, with admin rights, all defaults, over the
top of 2.4.0
 
 * Win2k SP4, from network disk, without admin rights, all defaults, with no
previous 2.4

 * Win2k SP4 (different machine), from local disk, with admin rights,
defaults apart from skipped test suite, over the top of 2.4.0
