Not sure which version you are installing.
I would recommend copying the file from the cdrom to a folder on the
computer and if the file is Zipped make sure you unzip the file before you
run setup.
Why are you seeing setup~1.exe? are you trying to install from dos? My
recommendation would be to put the unzipped files in a folder and execute
them in windows explorer. If you have trouble with a corrupt or missing
file I can send you the individual file so you do not need to download
everything.
Let me know which version you are trying to install.

Subject: [WriteLog] Install Help Needed!
Greetings from Mongolia. I'm trying to install Writelog for JT1CO & JT1BG
but have run into problems. I have the program on CD ROM as the internet
connection here is very slow. (9.6 KBps at the moment via analog radio link
to JT1CO's country QTH) so doing a download is not a great option.
The problem I'm having, is that when I click on Setup~1.exe, I get an
error message "setup is unable to find _setup.dll which is needed to
complete the installation, Error 103." Looking for clues on the web page,
I found the follwing:
WriteLog installer gives ComponentMovedata error
..and gives an error message naming atl.dll. The problem is that the file
atl.dll is marked Read-only.
Using the Windows File Manager, browse to the directory named in the error
message and find the file
atl.dll. Click on the file to highlight it, then right click and choose
Properties in the menu
that pops up. Find the button labeled "Read-only" and be sure the button is
off. Click OK, and
re-run the WriteLog installer.
Setup~1.dll file on the CD ROM is set to read only and of course I could not
change it on the CD. So, I copied the files from the CD to c:\writelog
which then allowed me to set the read only to off on setup~1.dll. I also
tried renaming the file since the error message was for setup1.dll (no ~).
Maybe another clue, I have tried to load the program on two laptops and I
still get the same message on both machines. In fact the second laptop is
my own which is already running Writelog.
I know it shouldn't be this difficult and I don't want to "experiment" too
much for fear of eventually creating bigger problems. I'm hoping someone
with a bit more computer savy can help out. I need to get this working
before we leave Sunday morning. By the way, I did eventually try to
download the program figguring a slow down load was better than nothing.
Unfortunately, using the supplied URL I got an error message file not found.
