Thanks to the tip to check out the MS support article. I tried both fixes (checking for files from previous install and the too long file name). Neither have solved to problem. The set up still stalls. FWIW, when I packaged the app, when the PDW was finished it told me that if I was going to install on a 95/98 machine I would need "DCOM98". I did a file search on my computer and didn't find it.

I don't know what DCOM98 is -- could this be the solution?

Anyone have any other tips? Many thanks. DL
