These are very easy to come by, and fairly simple to install.

It does, however, indicate that the people who wrote the program are
less than professional. It would have been pretty easy for them to handle
this automatically. It's more or less the hallmark of the barely-competent.

Pimply faced geeks often write programs that need them but don't include
them or tell you anywhere that you might have to track them down. Often
between phone calls at their technical support job.
