    ... Because it will litter the root directory with files it doesn't clean
up.   I was surprised
to find several applications had installed pointers to items in the %temp%
folder - application help
files, etc. and left them there.

   Another difference was that the new folder had no spaces in the name ... you
don't suppose this
confused things?

    My error was something like "unable to create process
. Reason: in2k\System32\advpack.dll.

   2 points of interest:
     1.)  the Docume~1 indicates that one of the install processes may be
16-bit
    2.)  The in2k is not a typo - the correct path should have been \Win2k;
either it wasn't
included in the message, or there was a path overflow.
