Larry & Dave,
I tried to install it from the internet, and I was getting the same
problem, hence I resorted to installing it locally, to see if there would
be a difference. Thanks for your suggestions abt permissions (I tried
that but permissions seem to be ok), I will keep trying. Let me know if
you come up with any other ideas.

Regards,
Pratheep.
