"Just as most others report, there is a missing "director". At first it didn't even progress thru the installshield wizard...there were 2 files named setup.exe and on first try the archives' directory structure was not kept. I handled that, but then ran into the missing director.

Has ANYONE succeeded in getting this to work?!?!?!? I've wasted HOURS on this!
