I don't know what is wrong with your windows setup, but usually sysedit 
can be installed by simply adding it to a program group - either by 
typing the path in or by browsing through the directories and 
highlighting the app. I have done this on at least 20 differently 
configured systems and always had the blue sysedit icon come up. Maybe 
it's in the wrong directory?
