Hello all. A disclaimer first: I've searched the mailing list archives the
best I know how: downloaded the entire thing raw, and did a search in my
editor. I did not,however, download the beta mailing list. I also looked
through the FAQ, and searched online support. I tried to submit a question,
but even with *all the correct fields* filled out, it kept telling me I had a
bunch of blank fields and to go back and fill them in.
OK, here's the deal, I have successfully loaded the windows CD via winsetup,
and now am trying to install windows as a normal user, although my normality
can be debated. It doesn't work. NO! Don't slap me, I'm going to provide
more detail.
I run win&, and it asks me if I want to set up windows. I of course say yes,
and it proceeds to open the little blue window and go through the install.
This is what I get:
Window Title: Installing Windows

greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
