I have had this piece of crap for over a month and still can't get it to install. Your read me file is very confusing. Plat paths make file test install. All these are designed very poorly. How about a simply install so i
 can at least start learning to write script and stop screwing with an
install that is barbaric one wonders if the language can possibly worth learning. I am running windows xp. I have downloaded your 5.1.3 version. All files want to know what program to open them. Install does nothing. All I want is to be able to start the damn thing. What moron thought releasing it
 in this shape was a good thing?
