OS/2 Installer Fails on ArcaOS 5

[Johann 'Myrkraverk' Oskarsson]

Dear OpenWatcom,

I downloaded the 1.9 installer for OS/2 and when I run it on ArcaOS 5,
all I get is

The file setup.inf cannot be found.

Does this mean my download is corrupt, or is this a problem with ArcaOS
itself?

The file I'm trying to run is open-watcom-c-os2-1.9.exe.

I just downloaded open-watcom-c-os2-1.9.exe on Ubuntu and inspected the
file with the Archive Manager. The file setup.inf is in the root of the
zipfile. As I don't have an ArcaOs installation at the moment, I can't
test it further.

Did you download in binary? My file starts with

The file I'm trying to run is open-watcom-c-os2-1.9.exe.

I just tried this on ArcaOS and it seemed to run fine. I did cancel as I
already have head installed and didn't want to overwrite it.
I can't see why it wouldn't install and run

I am now convinced my download on that machine is corrupt. I'll
return to that adventure some other day, though.
