'setup.exe' is ever so stubborn about this.  We've tried talking to it and 
cajoling it.
We've even grounded it at times for doing this.  Nothing seems to work.  We had
planned to send it to a summer boot-camp for dastardly and defiant setup 
programs
but the weather was so bad it got canceled.  Anyone want to start a fund so we
can send 'setup.exe' to a good psychologist to cure this anti-social behavior?
