>Hi,

>I'm trying to install the academic edition of Borland C++ 4.5 (CD-ROM edition)
>on my 386 DX-40 w/8 Megs of RAM and a large hard drive. My CD player is
>configured as drive G and I'm installing the files on drive F. Initially, the
>installation program asks me the the usual questions (where I want to install
>the files, etc.) and displays back the information. Everything seems to be
>correct. It begins the installation process. Once 20% of th files have been
>installed it stops and displays this message: "Unable to open destination
>file, G:\install\DLL_CT32.PAK for writing" and forces me to quit installation.
>It seems as if the program is trying to write to drive G (the CD drive) at
>that point rather than to drive F, even tough the 20% of the files do appear
>on my F drive. I have not had any problems with my CD player in the past and I
>know it's configures correctly, so it can't be that. Another thing that
>puzzles me is that Borland recommends to boot clean prior to installation. How
>am I supposed to run my CD player (since I have the CD ROM edition of C++) if
>I boot clean? Any Ideas?

>Thank you
