If you use the text install found in Dosutils it will work.
or if you have "W98" installed
copy the contents of the disk to your Hard drive
then in Dosutils/Autoboot on your hard drive edit the
/Dosutils/Autoboot/install.bat you will see what appears to be a machine
language code at the end of all lines.
remove this symbol
then run install.
edit your config.sys and autoexec.bat files, they will have been changed and
confirm the same machine language code was not installed as well.
then reboot and everything will work.
