Same as before, >no Win-OS2 settings. Any ideas on how to get this to work? I found that YNARI prompt too, and 'retrying' failed to do anything. I looked at the log- it seemed to be having trouble unpacking \os2\dll\wincfg.dll, because it was in use. (pstat didn't report it as being loaded, though. very odd). Rebooting didn't help. It was ALWAYS in use. I fixed it by booting off floppy, deleting the file, and then booting back off the HD drive and running the selective install again. No YNARI. Win-OS/2 worked.
