There's some issue with installing on NT 4 machines, but I'm really not all
that clear on what it is, and I no longer have access to one to try things
out.  Hopefully Mark will have a burst through the bug reports soon and have
a crack at this.

The relevant bug report is:

[ 900703 ] still won't install
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=61702&atid=498103&func=detail&aid=
900703>

You can add details to that if you like (even just adding the fact that you
also have the problem is valuable information).

Things you can try:

 * Be sure that you're using the most recent version (1.0b1) of the
installer (you didn't say which version you were using).

 * There are apparently issues with some dll's on NT, although I don't
really know all the details.  This helped some people, but not everyone.
