Sorry to bombard you folks with this, but I am pissed off and happy all at the same time.
It seems that install.lisp was MISSING some brackets … So, I got this far, and now,
have what is hopefully the last issue:

Install where?
1) System-wide install:
System in \usr\local\asdf-install\site-systems\
Files in \usr\local\asdf-install\site\
2) Personal installation:
System in H:\.asdf-install-dir\systems\
Files in H:\.asdf-install-dir\site\
0) Abort installation.

======================================================
It appears to have created the directories in H:\.asdf-install-dir\
but there is nothing in those directories…
Thanks, Alex.
