>An update: although I reported that the install went fine on Win98SE, except for the 10-15 minute delay at the end, the uninstall had some problems. I removed it via Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. Everything seemed to go fine at first, but then, before closing the Add/Remove Programs window, it settled into a period of apparent inactivity, although I could hear the hard drive chattering. Remembering that there was a similar period of 'inactivity' during the install, I let it run. And run. And run. I ended up letting it run overnight. The next morning I found a message telling me that my hard drive was full! This was a surprise, since in the first place this was an uninstall, and in the second place the drive had over 1GB available when I started the uninstall (this was not a full install, just a typical, so I was uninstalling probably 200MB - 400MB of stuff). I dug around a bit and found that the Windows temp folder had filled up with 1GB+ of files. I killed
>the uninstall, deleted the temp files, and all appears to be OK. But what a weird problem.

Yeah, I had a similar event here, though with this heavy AV running, I'm not sure who to blame. My impression of the new MSDN is that it's not quite fully developed. Sometimes search items I click on hang until Not-Responding (and I sometimes can see it going out to the web to search more when it does this), while other items come right up. Sometimes it requests a CD, other times it tries a web search. Weird. I'm leaving my old MSDN on my primary machine for now.

Sounds like you were close to doing my last-ditch uninstall method, when all else fails: delete all the related files you can find and then run Norton Systemworks to clean up the rest of the machine :-)
