Delighted to hear it finally worked!  I'm afraid we're not much help with
these when they go wrong:  the PLabs installer is 100% vanilla Wise
directives, with no custom code of any kind.  So when something goes wrong,
I'm afraid we're as clueless as the unfortunate user.  Luckily, if you keep
on buying enough new versions of Windows, the problem eventually fixes
itself <wink>.
