I have found his tool quite helpful in every regard except one:  the installer will fail to install on Windows Server 2012/R2 (and quite likely Windows 8/8.1).  It doesn't detect the VSS version and therefore won't install *anything*.  (And needless to say, all of my new servers are 2012...)

Michael was kind enough to send me the source code for the installer, but my installer-fu is weak:  after a weekend of playing with it I was no closer to making it work.

I've been told that it's not terribly difficult to do by hand what the installer is doing, but I haven't tried.  If there are any users out there who have done the manual version and have documented the process, I would greatly appreciate seeing that documentation...
