Status: offline 		I was going to install SPWaW 7.1 on my second comp that has no internet connection
So I copied the SetupSPWaWv7-1.exe file and all the extra campaigns (from PC 1) I have downloaded from the net to a CD.

But when I try and install on my sec PC it says something about wrong referens (handle) and the install dont start.

I tested it then on the PC I have it installed on and it worked fine (it has win ME and sec PC has win 95)

Anybody have any clue whats going on here??

Same fault mess coming, wrong file referens (handle)

I do notice now that the file that is named setupSPWaW7-1.exe only shows as setupSPW.exe on the PC with win 95?
