Chad,
Is SIDP-195 covered in this release? It's not in the release notes.

There was a mistake in the build of the 2.1.3 release that caused a 
library, needed by the installer, to be missing.  This has now been 
fixed and a rebuild posted.  If you grabbed the distribution before now 
please download it again.
