While I cannot offer you an explanation as to why this inability to install has afflicted you, I would like to add that you are not alone in this problem. A colleague of mine at UBC received MMa 2.2.3 (studver) on CD-ROM and was unable to install under Win95. He received a similar error message involving the set-up program. Wolfram sent a new CD-ROM, but this too failed to install for the same reasons. According to the credits in my copy of MMa, I received student version 2.2.4 (Jan 6, 1995). I have had no problems installing or running under Win95 (yet). We thought perhaps there was an error in the set-up used with ver.2.2.3 CD-ROM, and tried installing from my CD-ROM. The same error occurred. Interestingly, I received my copies of MMa before my colleague did. We both purchased directly from Wolfram. And, we are using the same release date Win95 versions. However, I installed MMa *after* installing the Plus! pack. (It would seem odd to me that there is anything in the Plus! pack that is mitigating this problem with the set-up used by Wolfram). However, our computers do not have the same motherboards; this, however, should not have any bearing on our ability to install MMa.
