[CWB] cwb under win 7 32 bit

Actually, you HAVE got it running. The warning you are getting on
starting CQP is harmless, you just need to tell it where your actual
registry is, by saying

set Registry "C:\where\your\registry\is"

The failure of the installation script to copy stuff into the created
folders is unfortunate, we haven't been able to test things thoroughly
on Windows 7 yet so I don't really know what the problem is. But as
you've observed, you can just run the programs from the location where
you've unzipped them to (the creation of a folder under Program Files is
really just for tidiness, if you really want them there then you can
simply copy across the entire contents of each of bin/include/lib/man in
the install file into those empty folders).

Best

Andrew.
