Ok, I got to the install. Actually the installer for the demo wanted
to install the VC2005 redistributable along with .NET Framework 2. The
install for the .NET framework failed but then I was able to install
the application successfully. Then it wanted me to register with sony
to receive an activation code. I declined to do that so I am not sure
if the program does indeed work.
