Well, here's the good news - newwave install is actually looking for
three of the files associated with windows: winhelp.exe, win.com, and
system.ini. I bet you don't have a winhelp.exe in your windows directory -
who knew?

I gathered this by poking around on the first disk of the newwave set
with a hacker friend... (wolf@netcom.com)...by poking into the 
install\labels.txt and looking in the install\newwave.txt files it
just looks like these are the first things install looks for.

Give that a try, and if that fails, give another call here!
