On our SoftPC, we had to be real careful.

1. Absolutely be logged on as root when you install or it won"t work.
2. After the NeXT Installer App finished, there was another install  
script on one of the floppy disks that we had to run separately.
3.  Finally, SoftPC.app is a directory, it just does not show up with  
the diamond in the browser.  But if you highlight it, and select File  
on the WorkSpace menu, the Open As Folder menu item should be  
available.
