Found one, and it's big. The dependency resolver page only adds direct
dependencies of packages that have been selected, not indirect ones,
so you end up with missing DLLs. (They do get added before the package
selection screen if you run setup.exe again.)
I obviously didn't test this properly. Andrew, please remove the gold
star I got for this.
I won't be able to look for a fix 'til later, meanwhile, I'd recommend
reverting the change asap.
