I can't recall if I used the browse function to locate the extracted files
in the i386 folder or if I typed in the file path in the box in the install
wizard, but that seemed to do the trick. It baulked at a couple of
components that seemed to still be missing, but I carried on through the
install and it now appears to be working fine.
