This is how to fix an installer.

Right now I am waiting for Martin's decision (and probably not only
me). He is responsible for MSI stuff and the only one, who can
integrate the patch. I don't want to put too much pressure on him, but
it would be more comfortable for all of us to know what is he up to.
I'd like to see this in 3.2 release, of course.
