[Gtk-sharp-list] gtksharp-runtime-2.7.1-win32-0.4.exe License Confusion

Hi all,
I'm a little confused over the GTK# and the way it's licensed. I
chose to write an application using GTK# because of the LGPL license.
However when I created an installer for Windows I noticed that the
gtksharp-runtime-2.7.1-win32-0.4.exe installer includes the GPL license,
the LGPL license, and the MIT license.
I want the application to remain closed source, which we can do with
the LGPL by dynamically linking to the libraries (at least that's how I
understand it). But I know that we can't do that with GPL licensed
libraries. Is it just the installer that is licensed under the GPL? Or
is it certain libraries that it contains? I'm a little lost, any help
pointing me in the right direction on how to distribute this app would
be appreciated. Currently I'm calling the gtksharp-runtime installer
from inside a VS.NET Setup project.
Thanks in Advance,
-Phil
