Actually, what Andy has is what 'setup.exe' provides if you install in
'C:\'.  I have the same thing.  So what he has is a "normal installation"
if the user chooses to install in 'C:\'.  Also, FWIW, 'setup.exe' does not
create a "symlink" from '/usr/bin' to '/bin'.  It only creates the mounts
like what Andy shows above.
