Mike, you've put together a lovely guide for installing these Tools.
I was thrilled to see from the guide that the tools are now compatible with Win 7 and 8 x64. So I was surprised to see the following errors when I tried to install the 2 files of Tools 2.12 (dated Nov 18/12) on Win 8.0 x64:

1. Standard_Tools_Setup_2.12.exe: "This setup can not be installed on this operating system version.
Only Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP Professional are supported!"
(That's pretty explicit!!)

2. "NCSEXPER.exe - System Error
The program can't start because api32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. "

Is anyone else successfully running 2.12 on Win 8 x64? If so, how did you get past first base?
Thanks. GC
