during setup I get the following:
'Setup has detected a corrupt Setup (.CAB) file.'
Argghhhh....!!!

Of course, in its infinite wisdom, setup doesn't tell
which file is bad, but it throws this error when the
meter (file copy progress) is at 22%. Can anyone
tell me from this which CAB is corrupted? . . .
Said PC have a good floppy so transferring a CAB
or two shouldn't be a big issue. However, not only
it has an old SCSI HA, the SCSI CD-RW in there
wasn't working very well in Win98 with the drivers
installed, so copying the whole CD anew isn't easy
to do at this moment.


Your cheapest and fastest solution might be to
add a regular CD ROM drive that you know is reliable.
Then you can recopy all CABs to the hard drive
and reinstal as you please.
