Okay, so apparently the WC4Win95 patch will run under XP, but first I have
to _install_ WC4... and the installer hangs...

booting from a dos bootdisk isn't an option (NTFS formatted harddisk)
I'd like to avoid setting up Win98 on a spare disk (I have a 6GB disk
sitting around) JUST so I can install WC4 and then copy the directory to the
XP disk over the network (using another machine as a waypoint whilst I swap
disks obviously.)


Suggestions anyone?, is there a way to manually install WC4?

TIA
