Ha ha ha.

And what does this "install here" actually mean?
You end up with
DLL files in WINDOWS/SYSTEM32
links and files in C:\Documents and Settings
some in C:\Users\Default\Local Settings
and in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application
and some of this files and directories are hidden system folders.
