Default Problems installing MSDict dictionaries

Please Login to Remove!

I've got a few MSDict dictionaries from MobiSystems.com. For some reason they use complex EXE installers instead of zipped ALX/COD files. Some dictionaries install like a breeze, and some won't install at all, Loader.exe (invoked by MSDict installer) just won't see them.

Rebooting PC, soft BB reset, battery pulls, downgrading Device OS, nothing seems to help. Usual trick of stopping the installation half way and looking for ALX/COD in some temp folder doesn't work with some dictionaries, as those temp folders are full of DLLs, EXEs, INIs and god knows what else.

Does anyone know any workaround for this. Thanks.
