I tried the online version of the Blitz3D castle demo. During dowload, I was asked to download and install an update for the Visual Basic runtime. After the VB update installed it then asked me to restart my comp. I chose not to do that (would have killed my dial-up connection plus various items I had running) and everything went OK, but I think the average user would be put off in that situation.
The wording of a popup window that appeared later during installation seemed to indicate that continuing was not a good idea, also, though I can't remember the exact wording.
Everything went smoothly, though. The castle demo loaded and ran OK.
