are you remembering to click experimental the second time through?
are you "downloading from internet" against multiple mirrors
to get all the latest things, then running "installing from
local directory" once? IF SO, then that may be the problem,
as the *last* mirror you contacted is the one to supply the
setup.ini that you'll use, and if it's a stagnate mirror
*cough*utk*cough* then you'll end up not seeing any of the
newer files, or changes to what's "current" that were present
on the fresher mirrors. (been there, done that - it forced me
to go read DJ's excelent doc on setup.ini....)
