    I'm trying install on Windows 98 (i know, i know). installation gets to "Installing ooRexx rxapi service and stops.

    any advice?

      If I've got this right, ooRexx programs can't be run by typing the name at a DOS prompt; you have to click on the icon.

      Gary,
      You left the "run as service" box checked - Win98 doesn't support services. Try installing again and remove any check boxes that have to do with "service" - I've installed 3.2 on numerous Win98SE systems.

      Thanks lee

      it seemed to install, but running a simple app "say hello" gets "Bad command or file name". Have I missed a step or something?
