I'm seeing this problem also, on Win2K, using the latest version of
setup.exe, 2.194.2.26.
If I use the 'Install from Internet' option, then I don't have any
problems.
If I use the 2-step 'Download from Internet' / 'Install from Local
Drive', then setup.exe consistently fails with 'Parse Errors' listings
in window.
1. Some of the parsing errors for setup.ini reference line numbers
that do not exist in my setup.ini file. For example,
"Setup.ini line 2231: parse error, unexpected $undefined., expecting
$"
"Setup.ini line 2231: unrecognized line in setup.ini headers (do you
have the latest setup?)"
My (automatically-generated) setup.ini has only 2217 lines.
2. These parsing errors are generated even though the 'Install from
Internet' completed without any errors, and I immediately follow it with
rerunning setup.exe and select 'Install from Local Drive'. Running
setup.exe multiple times repeats the 'Parse Errors' problem.
3. If I dismiss the 'Parse Errors' windows (click on the 'X' button),
setup.exe advances to the 'Category' screen, but its contents are
garbled in the first six categories, and I wouldn't trust using it.
Suggestion: Only use 'Install from Internet' to workaround the problem.
