I'm logged on as administrator. After sending my last message, I verified
that the windows installer was working correctly by changing the
configuration of Office 2000 to add a couple of extra text converters. That
worked ok. The last thing that I installed on this machine prior to Dolphin
4 was IE 5.5 SP1 a couple of weeks ago. That install completed ok.
