It would unpack setup files into TMP then just stop. At this point MY taskmanager was showing 100% CPU with nothing running. I found that if I killed the ntvm.exe ?? process and ran c:\tmp\setup again after cd'ing to c:\winnt\system32 setup would run OK. This problem happend twice on two different systems. One was caulsed by a zero length dll ver.dll in the c:\winnt directory the other was caulsed by some dll ?? in the path before the winnt\system32 dir.
