This may be me doing something wrong, but that's pretty unlikely, as the
procedure was very simple:
I have setup 2.249.2.5. When I ran it to install a source for some
package, it offered me to update w32api (I had 1.5-1, and 2.0-1 is out).
I didn't want to update just then, and unchecked the checkbox, and then
selected the source I wanted. Setup proceeded to uninstall w32api
altogether. When I ran setup again, w32api was showing as not installed.

It took the computational power of three Commodore 64s to fly to the moon.
It takes a 486 to run Windows 95. Something is wrong here. -- SC sig file
