This buglet has been fixed, but it looks like the correct version didn't
make it from the staging area...  fixed! (the fixed version is 1,633,504
bytes; the original release was a few bytes smaller).

(It doesn't really affect the installation itself, though.  All you're
missing is the final splash screen...)

It's done this way on purpose -- lots of people (including us) like to
be able to install things without messing up the registry.

But maybe we could add a "add me to registry" button to the final
screen...  maybe in the 1.6 release?

Temporary technical problems (we installed new servers over the
weekend).  Everything should be up and running again.
