error when installing win97 word/excell

Give it a rest Ove.  Nobody on the list wants to hear about your frustrations.  We are here to solve problems, not bully people.  I didn't respond to your flamemail as it's just a reflection of your insecurities and no one is interested in that.

Stick to the topic or get out.
