This happens if a package is in the same directory as the ini-file.

eg: ``install: packagename_without_slashes-1.0-1 ...''
causes setup to display: ``ackagename_without_slashes-1.0-1''

(A patch for this was submitted by me several months ago, but never
reacted upon...)

If the string is left empty, an attempt to allocate -1 bytes is made...

[...]

:  Then "Install from Local Directory" -- BANG it immediately crashes with 
:  the "URL Scheme Not Registered" error.

This /might/ be caused by the above. (Who knows what happens if you
try to allocate a negative amount of memory.)

try:
find -name setup.ini |xargs -r grep '^install: *$'
in your package-dir (if you ever get a working installation).

Good luck.
