Local fix
The workaround given the customer was to perform the install and
choose the plugin. This will not affect what they are trying to
do, it just means they have something extra installed
that they may not need or use.
Problem summary
This is a 3.5 CD issue.  The defect will be held open
and fixed if there is to be a reship of 3.5 on CD.
Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
