I've re-tested and taken specific notes and photographs (if you want I can
attach them to this bug). I've done this with a subset of the packages I
described, for speed.

Lets ignore what I was seeing with Nero BurnRights because that could be
attributable to it being already installed and the popup window saying so, but
not being readable and so I got confused. I'd have to quadruple check now to be
sure.

The problem with the installer progress not being shown isn't particularly wrong
colours but that none of the text in the windows is shown at all.

The following show only their title bar, which is drawn as a band of colour if
its a regular Windows Classic window, otherwise similar but in the theme of the
installer: F-Prot, MyODBCConnector, Java JRE, OpenOffice.
Adobe Reader shows the full window but the body of the window is plain grey.

All of the current sub-set of applications install as expected when
wpgk-start.bat is run manually, using just /synchronize and /verbose options.

Perhaps interestingly, F-Prot and Picasa do some things after WPKG has stopped
working; F-Prot slides up a small message box from the system tray, Picasa opens
a windowprobly describing how its indexing. Both of these have broken UI, with
only the outline of their windows and a blank title bar.

I wondered if it was a lack of system resources. I originally was testing this
on a machine with an AMD Duron 700Hz CPU and 256MB RAM, so I swapped that
machine for one with an Intel P4 1.8GHz CPU and 256MB RAM and saw identical
problems.
