 This was written as a step-by-step as I set up the Amazon EC2 'desolation'
-instance. This was based on an Amazon Windows 2003 instance that already had
-Visual Studio 2008 installed. Also note that for Amazon EC2, all programs were
-installed into the "C:" drive, as the "D:" drive is essentially ``/tmp`` and is
-not preserved between launched instances.

    I recommend 3, mostly because lots of apps will want to use zlib1.dll in the
    long run. (You may already have it.)

+    However, on EC2, there isn't enough room on C: to actually run the
+    installer. You need approx 6GB of free disk space. And EC2 only gives your

+    stock VS 2008 with no service packs. (Even installing VS 2008 to a
+    different drive doesn't leave enough room on C: to run the upgrader.)
+
+    When installing on EC2, it seems their 2003 Server comes with a Visual
+    Studio key already supplied. There is also the possibility of using Visual
+    Studio Express Edition, but it is currently unable to compile TortoiseBzr.
