If this method doesn't work for you, why should we tell users to
repeat these steps?
This argument could be used on your method as well, since this method
doesn't work either, for several users.
In any case, the lines that downloads inseng.dll is not much to argue
about, it's easy to verify that these are correct (for example by
md5summing).
If a user doesn't have a windows installation to copy the file from,
they can download a working inseng.dll from dlldump.com, dll-files.com,
et. al. As long as they have a windows license, then it's legit.
Personally, I trust files from www.microsoft.com more than files from
other sites. An additional advantage of my method is that you get the
correct version of inseng.dll.
Let's make it easy for the uers. If we can document how to fetch
inseng.dll in three lines, why force the user to search on the net? Also,
many people might not be aware of that you can download inseng.dll from
dll-files.com etc. The Howto doesn't give you any hint on this...
