Fair enough. But I think its also reasonable to publicly warn people who
might be considering downloading the compiler about an installer bug if it is
potentially *destructive*. I certainly would have appreciated such a post
before *I* installed it.

As you say, this problem has already been discovered by ACT and logged, so my
reporting it to ACT at this point would serve no purpose whatsoever.
