Do a search on: win98_21.cab and if found, note its location on the
hard drive. Then when the CD is requested, browse to that location.

Unfortunately, browsing to the folder with the file did not work. Is said
"not found" or similar.
Still looking for a solution.

Thanks.

If you have the .cab files on your hard drive, then it should have all the
files that the CD has.
