Honestly I could never figure out how you built the original download package.

Uhm, err... I can't remember exactly which tool I used, but it was a simple free tool for creating install packages. Anyway I don't think the install wizard is the main point here, just a zip file could be fine. The main point is giving the first coming user a collection of working dna files, example simulations, predefined settings, and docs, so that one can install and give a try at the program in a few minutes. If I was a first comer, installed the original exe, then patched it, and then found that the supplied bots aren't working, well, I'd probably have simply dragged everything to the trashbin.

Numsgil:
Part of the problem is that the original installer sets up some VB runtimes that aren't always present on the target machine.  That's the main reason the old installer is still used at all.  It wasn't a huge issue, so I never put a lot of time in to it.  It probably isn't too difficult to set up some sort of installer or something.
