You'll find 4 files in the folder. Rename the two that start with qt3 to something else (I used qt03, so I have qt03-wizard and qt03_wizard.xml.) Then rename the two that start with qt4 so that they start with qt3 (e.g., qt4-wizard becomes qt3-wizard). Try again.

OK, 2.3.15.1 is up at sourceforge, cleaned up so that qt4-wizard launches instead of qt3-wizard.

BTW, the downloads page needs to be updated for 2.3.15.
