I have uploaded a new version of setup which fixes some of the problems
with local directory installation.  I never saw the "freeze" scenario,
though, so I don't think that has been fixed.

I did try to improve the error reporting mechanism a little, though, so
that filename and line number info may be a little more accurate.

FYI,
cgf

Yes.  I made "one last change" and forgot to strip setup.exe before
uploading it.

I hadn't anticipated that I would be making setup releases.  I guess
I have to resurrect my old scripts for doing this if this gets to be
a habit.  With luck, that will not be the case.

Why is this binary so big? Debug symbols?

Additional feedback for 2.218.2.7

I've almost same experience with 2.218.2.7, but instead of memory written
error, the setup.exe just exited when I click "Next>>" to category lists.

Some feedback about the new version 2.218.2.7.

First, the good news: no parsing errors when 'Install from local
directory' is selected!

and the bad news: before any parsing errors might be seen, setup.exe
crashes:

   setup.exe - Application Error

   The instruction at "0x004121f2" referenced memory at "0x00000000".
The memory could not be "written".

   Click on OK to terminate the program
   Click on CANCEL to debug the program

This error was repeated in three tries with restarting setup.exe, but it
only occurred when I selected 'Install from local directory'.  Both
'Install from Internet' and 'Download from Internet' were able to run to
completion without any errors, so anyone who needs to get the software
shouldn't be stopped by the above error.
