No, these are downloads from my MSDN subscription. Yes they have been
activated but the message is about being unable to find a CAB file that
clearly exists on both disks. The file is in the Pror.WW folder looking for
PriorWW.CAB I wonder if the problem is because I don't have an UnZip app on
Vista? Hmmm. I'll install WinZip and see if that makes a difference just
for fun. When I look at the disk in explorer, the CAB file shows up with a
Zip icon that's what prompted my thinking...
