The installer is actually query for the Win4Lin rpm. It finds it listed and
assumes the next step is the loadwindowsCD process or the System Wide
Windows Installation. Since you didn't use rpm -e to uninstall it by hand,
the rpm still shows as being there. To check, do a "rpm -qa | grep Win4Lin".
At this point I woudl try "rpm -e --noscripts Win4Lin". Then restart
win4lin-install.
