I found that I could not re-install WinOS2 after getting the YNARI error. To fix the problem, I ran unpack on the file on disk 16 to view the file list. During the normal install process if there is any error during the unpack, it will not finish. Mine had an error because it tried to overwrite a .dll that was in use. Delete all files listed in that archive before reinstalling. Note that not all files are in \os2\mdos\winos2 or .\system. Rob
