[WDSCI-L] Fw: WDSC4/XP Installation

["John Taylor" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, I get to answer my own question. :)

If anyone else runs into this problem, don't wait for half an hour like I
did; the process is definately "stuck". Here's what to do:

- pop open the CD tray
- WDSC will display a message asking you to insert CD #3 - don't yet
- click the "browse" button on the message dialog
- windows displays the open file dialog for you to select a file/folder
- now you can close the cd tray again (with cd #3 in it of course)
- browse to the file that it's looking for and manually select it
- click ok, and the process should resume immediately
