I've never tried it with 6.22, have you?  I would guess that worked for full 
verions, but even the retail boxed 6.22 was an upgrade for existing DOS licenses 
and more persnickety about seeking existing version, swapping of disks and 
verifying of labels at multiple points in setup, etc.  I think they were trying 
new methods to make sure that you didn't buy just the upgrade and have full 
functionality.
