The common release files are included but obviously not the debug ones. 
Nevertheless it's very strange. After my poor attempt with the 
InnoSetup, I've taken a chance on the MSI version. Now I got a totally 
different problem, the 2 services are cannot be started (but the install 
finishes without complaining about missing MSVCR71D.dll file). It's said 
perhaps I don't have enough right to start system services, but I have 
admin rights, and in the service manager I can start/stop any services 
except the cvs ones. What is going on here? I'll try an earlier version out.
