Setup problems:

If you encountered problems during setup, something like ComponentMoveData failed.
The cause of this is the setup program attempted to copy dll with newer version
over the existing dll which is currently using by Windows. One way to get away 
from this problem is to use existing dll without copying the dll that comes with
the software. To do this, during the setup, choose custom setup from the Set Type
dialog, and uncheck the system files from Select Components dialog. But, the existing
dll is not guarantee to work with the software. The completed solution for this is
to shut down Windows and reboot the computer into DOS prompt using DOS boot disk, 
copy mfc42.dll and msvcrt.dll from system directory that come with the software
to Windows system directory if you are using Windows95 or to system32 if you are 
using NT.
