You haven't gotten it wrong, my friends. Thank you to UIQMania, who developed this amazing piece of software to use the dual LED flashlights in the P1i Camera to act as a torch.
The software comes unsigned, so you'll have to sign it yourself. A bit of a hassle I say, but then again signing it for distribution does take a bit of funds, so I guess its best off for us to sign it ourselves.
A bit inconvenient is the fact that to get it running continuously you have to press down on the camera shutter button the entire time - it's not continuous.
Just a note of caution - I don't think the LEDs are meant to run continuously at full brightness, so you may run the risk of burning the LEDs out alot faster. But its pretty useful in pitch black situations, when you really need a torch and you haven't got one with you.
Edit:
The newest version of the software can be obtained here.

you talk about "sign it yourself", how?
Yep, same question here: How to sign it ?
Of course I could ask google, but probably you can make a blog entry so we have everything together ;)
Yip, same here as well! have googled signing but cannot find anything useful, though i'm probably missing something.
Here it is:

Anyway, the guys from Qflashlight will submit this to sign as Freeware, and in the future people won´t have to sign it themselves
Like announced in the post, even with this software you'll have to hold the camera shutter down to get light, so whats the point of it? I can have the same by just entering camera mode which doesnt require laborious signing process.. Im quite disappointed cuz i was really looking forward to some real torch-tool.
