Sabyasachi,

First off, let me repeat one thing that was said during the course:
These questions are best directed to the mailing list.  Helping new
users solve installation problems is among the many purposes of the
list.  By asking a question of the list rather than of me directly,
you get to tap into a much larger pool of knowledge.  As you can see,
I have forwarded this email to the list.

The mailing list isn't the only splendid source of information
available to the Ifeffit newbie.  We also have a Frequently Asked
Questions page at
  http://cars9.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/ifeffit/faqwiz
The FAQ is great -- it contains tons of useful information and it's a
wiki.  That means that anyone in the Ifeffit community can share
knowledge by authoring or editing a FAQ entry.  Pretty cool!

There are FAQ entries that discusses the Windows installer and updater
at great length:
  http://cars9.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/ifeffit/faqwiz?req=all#2.4
  http://cars9.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/ifeffit/faqwiz?req=all#2.8
If that does not help you solve your problem, post a question to the
list and I am sure that one of the Windows experts who reads the list
will be happy to help you out.
