I didn't try to install Windows, just the new version of Win4Lin, so
wouldn't have had that error. I'm not sure what you mean by "critical"
errors. I haven't had any that I would put in that category, just that
it is still missing some features. Beta 5 (I think that is the latest)
isn't quite version 2, but it works pretty well. Unfortunately the new
license isn't accepted by it so I still have to use the earlier one,
which expires 30 days from now (hopefully things will get straightened
out long before then.)
