What a pity! I guess this is due to the fact that Microsoft uses a
different executable format than MinGW and the One-Click Installer
happens to be compiled with Microsoft's compiler. I seem to remember
having seen a tool that converts object files between these formats.
Maybe I'll try that one before cobbling together a Microsoft
installation.
