Installing it before or after installing the update should make no difference.
I also added another necessary component to my first post of this thread (VFPOLEDB). Perhaps that isn't getting installed. It does not show up in Programs and Features BTW.
You can also try installing them As Administrator.
I modified the install program to show a dialog upon completion. It also explicitly installs them AS ADMINISTRATOR. It should have been installing everything as administrator anyway, however. Anyway, I would try reinstalling using the new installer first.
