Sounds like you booted to the CD and ran setup from there... I was requesting
that you run the installer from within Windows. But no harm.

No Mail folder on my system. Note that Win 7 does not include several long-time
Windows applets including OE or Windows Mail (as it is called in Vista) or
Windows Movie Maker or Photo Gallery. All of these can be downloaded from the
Windows Live Downloads site: http://download.live.com

The lack is by design, though it's a mistake in my opinion... forcing users to
jump through the download hoop.
