Yes, yes, yes.... Spare me the commentary.... I know I'm in the dark ages, but I don't use Acad in my work -- just for piddly projects around the house.   

Rev 12  worked fine with Win98SE, but now I have Win2000Prof and can't get it to install.    

Try #1:
I have each of the 9 disks in a separate folder.  When I tried running setup in Disk 1, I get the error "Cannot start more than one copy of the specified program."  However there are no other copies of this running.

Try #2:
Then I copied all files from all 9 disks into one folder, then tried to run setup. Same error.

Thanks in advance for any help on how to install this old program on Win2000Prof.

Sam
