Well, after two hours of tears and bloodshed (but really more the metaphorical-type) and about 12 restarts and 3 uninstall/reinstalls and giving up and installing the version with about half the features, it appears to be working. Oh! Ha! It wasn't on! Let's see here...

Okay, yes. It appears to be working.

Boy were you going to get an earful if that didn't work.
