I often vote at work and home.  All I do is zip up *.cmt, vote.dat and
random.dat and email them home.  Then I unzip the files into the "Work Dir" and
I have a complete copy of WinVote from work.

Sorry you had so much trouble.  WinVote really is by far the easiest way to vote
off-line, if you are using Windows 9x or NT.  I just click "Compile Votes" and
then click "Mail It" and I'm done.
