Well, I have to supply the path to TortoiseOverlays...msi as part of the
build process, otherwise the build fails. So it *should* be bundled as
part of the install.

I see setup.py check that the env var is set, and then I see this in the
installer script:

...

However, when I look at that, I don't see anything saying "run this as
an installer", versus the next line which clearly says where the file
should be installed to. It may be that .iss knows how to install
something that ends in '.msi' anyway.


Something does seem wrong, though, and it may be that it isn't actually
getting installed. You could try installing manually and see if that
fixes anything.

I'm also going to try some things here, and I'll see what happens.
