Corrupt download, perhaps. Did you check the integrity of the download with md5sum.exe? This is recommended to avoid surprizes in downloads. You also have to ensure that Virtual Memory space is large enough. If you took the default, it is possible that this is the problem, increase it on 295 to at least 2 times available RAM. One other thing, with some fiddle you can also install 1.1.4 under w95 but this version is a bit more memory intensive and might need 128Mb to run smoothly. Apparently the only thing needed is to update is DCOM.
