decibel08, i had the exact same problem,
here's what you have to do, go into the cd into the folder x:\asms\6000\msft\windows\common\controls\ and copy three files in there including a file called controls.man onto a floppy disk.
now boot your computer up with a dos floppy disk so u can get to the command prompt,
cd into the folder below
c:\$win_nt$.~ls\i386\asms\6000\msft\windows\common\controls
then do this command
attrib -r *.*
del *.*
that command will take the read only attribute from all the files in that folder and delete them,
while you're in that folder do a copy like this
copy a:\*.* .
that will copy the three files that you copied from the cd to the floppy to the current \common\controls\ directory,
after you've done copying, you can restart the computer and it will run fine,
*note* before you doing all this, just go into that folder and open up controls.man, you'll see nothing in that file, which is wrong, b/c that file have many things in it, compare it with the one u got on the floppy disk, the one in the floppy disk have lots of things in it,
hope this is the right problem, and i'd solve it
