While I'm reluctant to comment with more uninvited clutter, I actually agree with the OP's position that the type of OS most likely doesn't matter here, nor does the package. [What may matter is what Jerry, Bob, Jim, and Audiotrack have asked, and other possibilities in my Tips post.]

Nevertheless, I believe in understanding the full picture before I rule anything out. This forum is normally effective at following that process, and short-circuiting it is done at our peril.
