Seems to have successfully installed for me on Windows Me.

A comment about the msi process: even though I set it to install to a 
different directory, 2.4.1c1 clobbered my 2.4 install. I remember 
reading something somewhere such that I expected this, but a quick 
glance at the obvious places for the 2.4.1c1 doesn't produce anything, 
nor does the install process itself explain that this will happen.

Perhaps its not a big deal, but I'd prefer the install process to 
inform me if it detected a previous install and intended to remove it.

Best to all,
