The most likely cause of the problem would be a failure during installation
that left a DLL or EXE missing somewhere. If you re-run setup.exe, telling it
to "Install from local package directory", and just clicking 'OK' all the way
through the various options, it should have a second go and tidy up anything
that got missed first time.
