a CATCH22, because on the CD, the files are unexpanded. And when I
offer it an expanded file, it just ignores me and puts i386 in the
location window. Tell me, are we making progress? Can you tell me
how to move the file it wants to where it will accept it?

Bill, the problem isn't that the files are compressed or not compressed.
The installation of the component will expand the necessary files.

The one article that I posted a link to suggested copying the i386 folder
to the hard drive. Have you tried that yet? Would suggest trying it with
your i386 folder from eMachines. If that fails, try it again with the i386
from the borrowed CD.

Here's the reference to the article again:
