Second, I've seen this problem when I installed cdk.exe on my win98 box. Here's a little synopsis of my problem and how I solved it. I'm running Windows98 on a Spacewalker Shuttle I440LX PII motherboard, Intel Celeron 266Mhz PII, 64Mb of memory, a 1.2 gig Western Digital Caviar hard disk, Advansys SCSI controller with a SCSI ZIP disk, and a floppy. The motherboard has the ability to run the system bus at speeds of 60Mhz with a 30Mhz PCI bus speed, 70Mhz with a 33Mhz PCI bus speed, and 83Mhz with a 43Mhz PCI bus speed. Notice that any disk access, SCSI or IDE, has to go over the PCI bus. When I ran the bus speed at 83Mhz (43Mhz PCI) and tried to install cdk.exe from my hard disk, I would get the error 'PackageForTheWebError: Could not execute "C:\TMP\SETUP.EXE /SMS'. For the longest time, I had no idea why this was happening, so I went to www.installshield.com, found out the PackageForTheWeb was a product of InstallShield, and that consequently is the product I believe Cygnus uses to package up cdk.exe. Anyway, I read the FAQ for PackageForTheWeb and one FAQ question addressed the SETUP.EXE /SMS problem. None of the answers seemed to fit my problem. But I believed since I was overclocking my system bus, maybe I should run the system bus at a slower speed. Well, that didn't help either. But, when I ran the system bus at the slowest speed and ran cdk.exe from my ZIP drive, I was actually able to install Cygnus B19 properly. Go figure. This leads me to believe that Windows98 isn't handling disk access effectively enough and that cdk.exe is not able to properly decompress and write to disk well enough. Maybe there's some disk caching feature that Windows 98 isn't working properly, I don't know. Anyone have any ideas? You might be able to read something there to solve your problem.
