Yes. This part:
<begin quote>
However, the "Install from Local Directory" option (after doing the
Download from Internet) gave me quite a few errors. First, there were
multiple windows with lots of parse errors. After clicking OK on four
or five of them, the install continued and appeared to work....When
the install finished, everything appeared OK, but I'm very apprehensive
about all the [parse] errors and pop-up windows.
The first line in the "Parse Errors" window is:
setup.ini line 3297: parse error, unexpected $undefined
Thereafter, all lines look like this:
setup.ini line 3297: unrecognized line in setup.ini headers (do you have the latest setup?)
The line numbers keep incrementing up to 3332. Clicking OK brings up
another window that looks the same but the last line number is higher.
As I said before, after four or five windows, it continues with the
installation and completes it successfully. The strange thing about
this is that there are only 2216 lines in the setup.ini file (from
mirrors.rcn.net).
There's nothing interesting in the setup.log or setup.log.full files.
I'm running Windows NT4, Service pack 5.

The above still happens with the 2.218.2.6 version of setup.exe,
except now the first parse error is at line 2275, and there are 2274
lines in the setup.ini file.
