[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 NEW USER ONLY glitch

Hello all,

No matter how hard  you try...

This should only affect first time installations (new users; new computers)

When you install DX4WIN, it determines which operating system you have, 16 
bit or 32 bit (Win95/98 vs 2000/XP/NT) and installs the operating system 
specific port driver.

Well, 6.03 *apparently* has it backwards and tries to do just the opposite 
of what it should.  If this is a new install in a new machine, you will get 
a message that the port driver was not loaded and the program will not run.

For those of you with previous installs of DX4WIN this should not be an 
issue.  Those previous installs did install the correct driver into 
Windows, which version 6.03 will use, so it works as it should.

No one caught this because all the beta testers, and Paul and I, all have 
had previous versions of DX4WIN installed, so none of them bombed.

Paul expects, barring any real off the wall issues, to have this resolved 
this evening, with 6.03.1 being released later tonight.
