That is the problem, right there. I counted some 150 directories,
many of which contain 10+ packages, easily. A manageable install
command would have looked like "setup.exe -L directory -a" to
get and install everything it could have found under that directory,
rather than a command that spans two or more screen-fulls to list all
those packages.
Any other alternative, please?
