Hi Bruce,

Try to install from hard disk. So first copy the whole WorkBench to your
harddisk and install from there. I cannot guarantee that it works, but
that is the solution for a similar problem that may occurr when you try
to install MF NetExpress under Win98.

Good luck,
Leo

Buce,

Is it a Micro Focus GNT you are failing to find, or as a result of
compiling one of your own programs ? Either way backtrack on the
installation, look at any relevant readme.txt files and double check
your settings for pathnames and compiler settings.
(GNTs are not something that interest me directly but for confirmation I
did a Windows Explorer--->Tools-----> Find Files in the Net Express
directory and came up with 46, fairly evenly split between \Base\bin,
\Dialog System\bin and \Application Server).

I have installed and run WB 4.0 on XP with no problems. You
*must* install WB from the Y2K-compliant CD. Hint: if your
install CD doesn't have an UPDATES directory, it's probably
not the Y2K compliant one. The "GNT not found" is one of
the symptoms of having the non-compliant install disk.
Talk to your salesperson to get the right one.
The other problem of installing WB is that it will
refuse to install if you have more than 2G free space
on any drive connected to your system, including
network-attached drives. The circumvention is to
create some large files to fill up space.
Sorry, no personal experience with the Dialog piece.
