Success! At least, limited success; further than before!

Before I got your message, since I had noticed that xulrunner had failed
to install, I tried copying it over to where it expected it, then running
'setup' again, this time asking it to install everything but the Windows
MSVC and SDK stuff (I had indeed asked it to install everything the first
time, and to install most things subsequent times) For some reason, that
was enough to get it to work, and everything ran through. I couldn't tell
if it had actually been successful or not (the command window closed
suddenly, just like it does when it fails), so I ran 'make' in the
c:/build/cellml-api/ directory just to make sure, and it made (re-made?) a
bunch of executables!

The only problem is that those executables seem to be mixed 32/64-bit
things. I was installing on 64-bit Windows 7, and would like to have
32-bit executables because this is for distribution. So presumably the
compilers for the new stuff made thigns 64-bit, and all the pre-compiled
things were 32 bit. But happily, all the auto-generated source code was
at least generated, so I can now at least start to compile my own project
with a dependency on yours. I presume it won't link right, but other than
that...

So, I'm now in the process of trying to get this running on my XP machine,
which presumably won't have the 32/64 bit issues, though it will
presumably also fail to download xulrunner, and I'll have to do that by
hand. But I'm hopeful that everything else will work...

Thanks for the help, and I'm sure I'll be bugging you again soon...
