Huh? Pregexp is included in DrScheme. Use (require (lib "pregexp.ss"))
to import it.

If you *really* want to play with Sitaram's automatic configuration
tools, try this:

  1. Delete the copy of mzscheme.exe you made

  2. Add the mzscheme.exe to the Windows search path
      i) Open "Control Panel"
     ii) Left click at "System"
    iii) Choose the "Advanced" tab.
     iv) Click the "Environment variables" button.
      v) In the bottom window, find the system variable PATH
     vi) Click the "Edit" button and add
              ;C:\Program Files\PLT
         to the search path

3. Try installing the pregexp again.
