Joerg,

Thanks for the detailed bug report and feedback. I have made several 
attempts to improve the installation helper programs but there may still 
be a bug lurking. Hopefully these can be tracked down and corrected.

I will look into this. For the 2.2.0 release, I'm also considering a 
unified installer that works for both x86 and amd64 platforms. The 
download would be larger but it may prove more convenient for users.

Does anyone have an opinion on this?

Thanks,
