[vtkusers] Problems running CMakeSetup under Windows XP

[David Cole]

What version of CMakeSetup are you using? (And how did you install it?)
What version of Windows?
What compiler / development environment?

I (personally) would never download a Microsoft DLL from a non-Microsoft 
source unless you are carefully checking digital signatures to verify 
that it's the same as the one Microsoft produced...

It sounds like we're not including the MFC dll in our installation 
program for CMakeSetup... We probably just don't run into this very 
often because most of our Windows users already have Visual Studio 
installed. (Or at least one application that has previously installed 
the MFC dll's in the Windows\System32 folder.)

Thanks for the report,
David
