I can't install anything using the SWT version:

prob in install catch: problem: Failed: not synchronously callable (install)

The cause seems to be here in capDesk.e-swt:

    } else {
        # XXX convert installer and powerbox to swt later
        #bindInstaller()
        #bindPowerboxControllerMaker()
        bindNavigatorWindowMaker()
        bind initialNavWindow :=
          navigatorWindowMaker(ftController, myHomeNavigator)
        introducer.onTheAir()
    }

Is there a later version?
