        Problems Installing IBM Works from OS/2 Warp BonusPak

--------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION

When you type INSTALL from diskette or CD-ROM, or use the BPIU 
interface, after a few seconds, the window returns to the prompt, or 
the BPIU interface returns to the main menu, and no message is 
displayed.

RESOLUTION

1. At the command prompt, type E CONFIG.SYS and press Enter.

2. Look for the statement, SET REMOTE_INSTALL_STATE=0. If the statement
   is present, change it to:

      REM SET REMOTE_INSTALL_STATE=0

3. Save and exit the file; then restart the system.

The IBM Works software installer fails because this statement sets a 
flag for the software installer to read a response file that IBM Works 
does not supply.
