<shrug> Dunno. "I don't do windows" :>
I re-ran the experiment (pgadmin3 onto "virgin, up-to-date XP
install") and still don't see any signs of this package being
drawn in. Would you like me to forward the installer's
log file to you directly? (too big to post, here -- ~750KB)
I'll take a quick glance through it to see if anything obvious
turns up but otherwise I'm not qualified to understand what
it is (or, in this case, is NOT) doing to comment intelligently.
I can likewise forward a (manually authored) log of the steps
by which I created the "virgin, up-to-date XP install" so you
can see the "updates", etc. that were drawn into it...
Thx,
--don
