- Did you try running selective install from the WPS or the command line?
-
- I also had INSTALL.EXE problems, but after a lot of attempts the install
- dialog box suddenly appeared and I was able to install OS/2. And now with
- an installed OS/2 2.1b, I cannot run INSTALL.EXE again. Only once this morning
- the dialog box came on the screen, so I could finnish the installation (I
- didn't do a full install the first time). Every time INSTALL.EXE hangs
- I have to reboot with CNTRL-SHIFT-F1 pressed or INSTALL will start-up
- and hang OS/2 again :-(.
-
- It probably has something to do with my configuration: a 40Mhz 386-40 (AMD)
- with AMI BIOS and an 80Mb IDE Quantum Prodrive.
