Hmm..all working now (well, apart from GD crashing every time I try and
write out a JPEG - but that's another converstation)

I supose the real question is

 a) Why don't activestate mirror the latest installer on their site, or..
 b) At least link to it whenever you offer a MSI package to download (or
    at least on the 'downloads' page

download.

Grr.

Mark. (back to coding under 'nix)
