I'm not aware of any problems such as this in the installation program. There do
seem to be soom screwy things in it however when running on pre-1.4 machines to
do with disk changes going AWOL. That is probably what has happened, I'm getting
the chap who wrote install.prg and batcher.prg to look into it.

ICD 4.6.0 should be fine, I use it myself, so I would probably have spotted
problems by now!
