It sounds like you are trying to install it in Win-OS/2.  A lot of
Windows programs seem to require a restart of Windows after install. 
Have you tried installing this program under Real Windows (not
Win-OS/2) and then migrating it to the desktop?

At least if you know it has installed correctly and runs properly
under Real Windows then you'll know the problems under Win-OS/2 don't
involve the installation itself, only the running of the program.

Same for installing the Win32s software itself.
