Not me.  But I was getting a similar error (the setup dialog not going away)
under 3.2.  I borrowed from Warren's document at minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au and came
up with a different procedure that seems to work under 3.2, and I'm guessing
it'll work under 4.0 as well---and no library substitutions, either.  If it
doesn't, let me know.  See

for the writeup.
