Hey Jmf!

If you want to complain thats ok... its a free world I guess...

If however you want someone to help you with installing, you need to give
more info:

- What you downloaded
- What you tried
- Your system/OS details
- What went wrong eg backtraces/error messages at console
- etc

[Not me since I am not messing with 3.5 ATM nor do I have easy access to a
windows box]
