Doug: Can you find the rbengine95_32.dll file on the server anywhere? If you're using the -a switch then the .dll must be in the same directory as the RBase exe files

The first installation attempt was indeed an incorrect "full installation" from a VPN remote workstation targeting an RBASE95 folder on the remote server. The VPN was slow, so rather than rerun the install again, we shipped the 9.5 installation CD to be onsite. With the RB CD on-site, I ran the installation from a workstation on the LAN and did select "Server Installation" (per section 2.5) from the components dialog, targeting the same RBASE95 folder on the server. The installation was incomplete as mentioned below. I then did an uninstall from the Control Panel and manually deleted all 9 files from the RBASE95 folder, then tried to install again - without success. There are no error messages during installation, although the installation goes pretty quickly - commensurate with the number of files found in the RBASE95 folder. Any other clues for the blues?
