Got it!

For some reason it isn't working on the Win98se platform, for which
it is intended.

A websearch indicated I needed msiexec.exe. Found it on THIS machine,
a WindowsME box. So I copied the file and tried again. This time it
was lacking msi.dll, so I got it as well...

It is complaining about invalid command line parameters.

I am anxious to give this a try...

Any suggestions?

Thankx, again!
