Hi all,

Thanks for the reply all of you.

I have copied, from the CD, the INSTALL and RUNIMAGE directories onto my HD (to a directory called c:\Delphi4).
Then I ran SETUP.EXE located in the INSTALL directory. This setup procedure works fine in principle, running through the interactive session (indicating that it is not a hardware related problem I presume).
However it again failed the installation and comes up with that same error message (as reprinted below).

The second error message (-113) talks about specifying the drive letter. How am I suppose to specify the drive letter? I run SETUP.EXE from the Start-Menu's RUN command: "c:\Delphi4\Install\SETUP.EXE".

Has anybody any ideas how to solve this (urgent) problem?

Note: I have re-installed Delphi 2 (from the CD) without any problems.

Your help is highly appreciated.

John Christenhusz.

Error Message:
After the interactive session (asking: what, where, serial# & authorization key, etc.) it starts copying files and comes up (at 0%) with the following message:

Error copying files.
Unknown error
Error code: -1
Source file: *.cnf
Destination file: <nothing quoted here>

Then when I continue, it comes up (at 8%) with following message:

-113 error while copying files.
Could not find "RunImage" directory.
...
Copy Install dir & RunImage...
Must CD root mapped to a drive letter.

Hereafter it gives up and the installation process is terminated.
