Did you try running selective install from the WPS or the command line?

I also had INSTALL.EXE problems, but after a lot of attempts the install
dialog box suddenly appeared and I was able to install OS/2. And now with
an installed OS/2 2.1b, I cannot run INSTALL.EXE again. Only once this morning
the dialog box came on the screen, so I could finnish the installation (I
didn't do a full install the first time). Every time INSTALL.EXE hangs
I have to reboot with CNTRL-SHIFT-F1 pressed or INSTALL will start-up
and hang OS/2 again :-(.

It probably has something to do with my configuration: a 40Mhz 386-40 (AMD)
with AMI BIOS and an 80Mb IDE Quantum Prodrive.
