Re: Installing NUnit

Good answers afaic. Of course, I didn't even know there was a separate
x86 program files directory - someone want to send us a 64-bit system? :-)

Note that to run 32-bit tests, you will need to use nunit-console-x86.exe
or nunit-x86.exe. Otherwise, they will run as 64 bit, no matter where
you put them.
