It may be that the installer still contains a 16-bit stub, which is intolerant of
being launched from a location whose fully-qualified directory path contains
non-8dot3-compliant directory names.
For example, if the installer is in "X:\Program Files\Transarc" it would fail.
Try placing the installer program on the root directory of a drive.
Also, if your environment variable "PATH" is longer than some value (I think it's 64
or 128 chars) the NTVDM 16-bit DOS emulator can encounter difficulties loading
binaries for execution.
