As to your original assertion, what Eric said.

I'd recommend getting rid of this setting.  It's incorrect.

Given what you've installed, the above is not good.  It indicates that the
installation went awry somewhere.  You should try rerunning 'setup.exe' and
see if it just needs to finish installing things.  If not, you may want to
try removing everything and installing again.
