Thanks very much for the dump!
Using it, I think that maybe I've tracked down the problem. I
definitely fixed *a* bug, and all circumstantial evidence points to
this bug as the culprit, but it's difficult to be sure...
As a step toward testing the repair, I'm looking for volunteers.
Qualified volunteers experience a crash when they try to install 207.
Furthermore, running "Finish Install.exe" (in the half-installed PLT
folder) doesn't work either.
If you have a Windows machine like that:
* If you no longer have a half-installed 207, try, once again, to
install it.
* After the install crashes, replace the "libmred207_000.dll" in your
system folder (probably "C:/windows/system32") with
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~mflatt/tmp/libmred207_000.dll
* Go to the half-installed PLT folder and double-click "Finish
Install.exe".
Finish Install should either crash immediately or succeed. Let me know
either way.
Thanks,
Matthew

This also works on my Windows.
