I think you are doing 2 things wrong.  For starters you are using the
Apple Internet Connection Kit, I've never used it myself but my
understanding is that it is a heap of crap.  If you've setup a PC
manually, doing it on the Mac is a brezze.  You'll need OT/PPP, I don't
recall if this comes with 7.6 but it should be on www.apple.com if it
isn't.  Once you've got that post here or in uk.comp.sys.mac for help
setting it up with a specific ISP if needed.  I've no idea what the SCR
file is and I don't remember it, ignore it for now.  What you need to do
is mount all of the images (.img files) (using Disc Copy which should be
on his CD or is on www.apple.com if it isn't), Disk 1 should contain a
installer icon which will do the upgrade.

It looks as if you may have received a corrupted version of the
script file.  You could try downloading it again.  An alternative
is that you have a corrupted version of the program which runs
the script: Disk Copy.  You can download an up-to-date copy from
Apple's web site, near where you found the rest of the stuff.

BTW, from your post you may benefit from some starter-
information on getting a Mac on the Internet.  The FAQ for
demon.ip.support.mac can be found on my web site (see the .sig).
The FAQ mentions the undesirability of using the AICK.
