    I updated my post above a bit later, but what you do is:

    Copy the borlndmm.dll to your "C:/windows/system32" folder.

    NOT the Startup Inspector folder. You can leave it there, but it doesn't do anything. Honestly.

    After you copy it to your system32 folder, you can run the install and it should work unless its missing some other libraries. :)
