Thank you, Ken! The dependencies you sent to me via e-mail worked like a charm,
and I now have SharpConstruct on my PC.

You mentioned that gtkmm should be installed first. What I found was that it
would not load as the first item--an error message came up saying, "GTK must be
installed first."  So I reversed the order of the two, and it still worked. I
think the real 'key' is putting everything into "Program Files in the C drive
(in their own files/locations)", as you mentioned, rather than just into C:\
(which is where the dependencies want to be installed by default.)

BTW, another very similar (and also free) app that everyone might want to try
out is Sculptris. It doesn't depend on GTK/gtkmm to work.

Thanks again!

Ken
