a clean install of protel 99se involves deleting certain files from \windows before the new install because some files are not replaced
there a procedure here somewhere in these archives sorry i don't exactly remember it all
there is a bit more to it than the *.rcs and *.ini files
tpl or bpl or something
maybe someone has it handy

did you mean a clean reinstall of Windows or of Protel.
I have installed and removed Protel 99SE SP6 4 times. I even installed Protel on my web server (it worked) and copied the C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE directory and put it on the new machine. Still no luck.
I finally figured out my C compiler problem (the date was set to the year 2053) but Parts and Vendors will still not install? Is it my computer or Protel? It could be my computer but I just installed Windows XP Pro on my machine so it should be a clean install.

Trent,
the message that you are receiving seems to be related to Protel not finding the *.ins files for certain process servers within Protel. Most of the functions and operations within Protel run from these "servers". So your servers are not being "installed" or run when you open Protel. it sounds like you have a number of them missing, one for each time you have to press the return key.
If you look in your C:\Program Files\Design Explorer 99 SE\System directory you will undoubtedly not be able to find the files it is complaining about. Therefore all of those processes will not run within Protel. Typically each of these processes have a .dll, .ico, .rcs and a .ins file in that directory. It is complaining that it can't find the .ins files for the mentioned specific processes. (Maybe other files are also missing.)
Sounds like a clean re-install is called for.

I am moving to a new machine but I am having problems running Protel SE SP6.
When I start Protel I get the following error: "Cannot locate server initialization file:"
Sometimes this comes up for a while and I have to keep pressing return. When I finally clear the error I cannot open any Protel files. When I open them I don't get an error, they just don't open.
Any suggestions
My new machine Athlon XP 2000+ 512 MB of RAM Windows XP Service Pack1 NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
To tell you the truth it might not be Protel's fault. There are a couple of things that don't work. The installation for Parts and Vendors (a computer package) will not go through the whole way and I cannot run my Rabbit Semiconductor C compiler without it crashing. These problems do not happen on other machines.
