At:
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/windows/win32inst.zip
there is a file which contains two program components:
1. SETUP.EXE
2. _ISDEL.EXE
These components must replace the original components for a 16-Bit
installation of a windows program under ODIN. The read.me file has
the following text:
Microsoft Windows(TM) 32-bit Installer Components
11/08/2000
[...]
Purpose:
Odin (the successor to the Win32-OS/2 Project) holds much promise for
being able to run 32-bit Windows executables in the OS/2 PM
environment. One problem which has been routinely reported is that of
16-bit Windows installers shipped with 32-bit Windows apps. Upon
running such a SETUP.EXE, OS/2 either immediately launches a Win-OS/2
session or Odin reports an error message that the app is not 32-bit
Windows. Replacing both SETUP.EXE and _ISDEL.EXE with the 32-bit
versions in this archive should allow these applications to install
normally under Odin.
Contents: These files are the 32-bit installer components. Replace
any 16-bit installers with these for use under Odin.
