		+	It looks like the installer (0.9.6) doesn't support non-standard windows system folders. I tried it several times on 2 computers running xp with "sys" instead of "windows" and "bin" instead of "Program Files". Installer kept freezing on 25% doing something like “updating mime types”. The last entry in log file was about kbuildsycoca4, and I was able to find it in running processes. After I killed it, the installer could precede to registering start menu shortcuts (without success). Only after clean standard install of xp (normal folder names) it installed fine.

 dkintheuk: ok it's alive - used the next installer and it indicated that several components were not installed even though the previous installer said they were. I have amarok running right now and tried out some interesting things but can't get one thing to work...
