Yes, but the *installer* releases of Moz are in the
form of an .EXE, and they do whatever they do at
install time (which I am not really privy to), and
this is not the same thing that you like to do with
the .Zip releases.

I see 2 possible trees, not 3. The profiles have most
of the Config info (but maybe not all of it, such as
what is in the Components and Plugins directories), so
I'm not sure what you mean by a config tree. I have
had the Profiles tree separate ever since I began
using Moz with ver. 1.0, as I believe Steven
recommended in a column quite some time ago.

That is fine if you want to use the Zip releases. I
prefer to use the Installer releases. I had problems
the one time I tried it the other way, and I just
prefer to follow the Keep It Simple (and easy)
principle.
