1. You are talking about IBMs software installer, not my program.
2. You never cooperated to have it diagnosed.  I posted the e-mail archive.
   I can post it again if anyone is interested in your
   "won't register - won't supply debug info" attitude...
3. I had one other complaint about installation program failing which was
   because of a bad partition.  The user was experimenting with 
   a file new system of his own and it was not fully functional.
   That partition happened to have the most free space on it, and the
   software installer used to chose the partiton which had the most space for
   temporary installation files.  This was not a selectable option for the
   user of the IBMs software installer, and we found out about it after
   we asked IBM about the failure and the error code.
4. You refused to participate in the support process...
