Some senseless babbling from Gregory Urban to All
on 11-25-99  11:04 about Odin and app install...

 GU> Greetings,

 GU> Recently I downloaded ODIN so that I can attempt to run Win32 apps on
 GU> my Warp 4 system.  Well, I've run into a problem. When I try installing
 GU> apps which use the "Unwise" installation program they of course won't
 GU> install. ODIN won't run the install program because it is 16-bit and if
 GU> I try running in a WinOS2 session the installer refuses to install the
 GU> Win9x app because WinOS2 is the wrong version.

 GU> Anyone out there figure out how to get around this?  Also, anyone out
 GU> there know how to unpack .CAB files?

There's an EXTRACT.EXE program on the Win95 CD to unpack CAB files.

As to your problem, the only workaround that'll probably ever happen is to
run the installation in Win9x, then just try running the program under
OS/2.

Until the "Unwise" people make their app 32-bit.
