RE: Setup failures over the last few days

["Harig, Mark A." <maharig at idirect dot net>]

This fixes the problem that I saw with setup.exe, version 2.194.2.26,
that is, parsing errors in setup.ini and referring to line numbers that
were not in the file.  Please ignore my message in the 'setup continuing
difficulties' thread.

Thanks for the quick fix!
