Who broke the new SETUP.EXE?

The old behaviour still works.  Just make sure you *don't* have a
setup.ini file in that directory (or create a custom setup.ini for
that directory).

I couldn't find a dialog that let you create and pick a directory,
without also letting you pick a file, which is an invalid response in
that case.
