I have run into a problem with Windows 3.0, and I don't have any idea
how to solve this. When I install windows, if I ask it to search the
hard disk for applications, the installation process hangs, and I have
to reboot the computer, and redo the entire installation process.  This
is a pain, but I got around it by skipping the install applications step
in the main installation.

However, my plan was to then use the Windows Setup routine inside of
Windows, and just use the 'setup applications' option in the menu. 
Unfortunately, whenever I select this option, I get an "unrecoverable
application error", so I have to add every application manually, using
the 'New' option in the Program Manager.

I have a 386/33 system, with a 160 Meg Micropolis ESDI hard disk, and
Adaptec Controller card with 64k Cache.

Does anyone know what is wrong here?  Is there a solution?

Thanks in advance,
