Hello Gunter,

Thanks for sharing this great tool with us.  One note is that on Office 2003
(English), it seems necesary to allow access to VB projects in order for the
install to work.

I have e-mailed you screenshots from installation in the English version,
which you may distribute freely in future versions of the installer if you
would like.

Best,
Johntex
