Possibly I had the updatetool.bat open to read and learn what was needed to set the proxy host, the bootstrap could not replace it. But I thought I had it closed for some tests; maybe Vista was still loking the file. There was no error but it said install completed successfully.
Determining the proxy from the Windows registry may be prone to issues.
........
rem Go get proxy information from registry
(FOR /F "tokens=3* delims= " %%A IN ('reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyServer') DO SET MY_PROXY_SERVER=%%A ) 2>nul
(FOR /F "tokens=3* delims= " %%A IN ('reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" /v ProxyEnable') DO SET MY_PROXY_ENABLE=%%A ) 2>nul

I've never run IE on this machine and never set up its proxy; Running Firefox, Opera and Safari because I'm working with svg.
