Can't install on W 98

Hi Rob.
My wife is still using Windows 98 SE. I tried to install EUPHORIA
 (latest version in the site) on her
 PC, but got this message during installation:

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\is-vgteh.tmp\setupae.exw:9
can't find msgbox.e in C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\is-VGTEH.tmp
or in E:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE
include msgbox.e
                ^

The strange thing was the E:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE
I then deleted all of earlier EU installations and ran again the installer.
Same result.
The file is really in C:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE
The machine has in fact an E: partition, but it is a Windows XP partition
 not accesible from Windows 98.
I finally traced the problem to the EUDIR environment variable. It
 pointed to the E: drive from an earlier installation.

I thought this mishap would be of interest for the installer.
Regards.

Maybe a history of this
