- OK, that's where you made your mistake. You're not supposed to extract
- KITINSTAL.COM, you're supposed to use the VMSINSTAL utility to do it all for
- you. You use a command of the form:
- $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL product_name location_of_product
- VMSINSTAL then extracts the files from the saveset and invokes KITINSTAL.COM.

- Please, you're talking about a computer program here, not a game of horseshoes:
- CLOSE DOESN'T COUNT. Now, basded on your fundamental mistake (trying to do
- thing by hand instead of using VMSINSTAL, you're probably running afoul of a
- callback to VMSINSTAL.

- Anybody else who tried using it the way you did undoubtedly had the same
- problem.

-
- The problem is that it's trying to make a callback to a procedure you're not
- running.
-

-
- You don't want to modify it, you just want to run it in its intended
- environment: Via VMSINSTAL.
