Make sure that warp cant see ANY autoexec.bat files on any other drives.
This problem has nothing to do with multimedia.
On my system, warp is on a large primary partition, dos is on a small primary partition
and all of my dos/windows software is on another partition which both operating systems
can see but they cant see each other. If there is an autoexec.bat file but no config.sys file on the data
drive then selective install will hang every time. It was explained to me this way:
selective install will look recursively for config.sys after finding a copy of autoexec.bat until
it runs out of stack space and it traps.
In other words delete or rename any copies of autoexec.bat and config.sys
and everything will run smoothly
