Mathematica 2.2.3 on Windows 95
Elias Saab
I tried to install Mmma 2.2.3 on Windows 95, I got the following
error message
Microsoft Test Drive (ds) error
Bindtime Error:
'GETVERSION' Not found in specified library,
Why is that and how do we go on fixing that?

Hi,
You need to visit the WRI homepage and read up on Win95 issues.
There is a special file there that may cure your problem. Good luck.
The file you are looking for is "mllcl16.mll"

While I cannot offer you an explanation as to why this inability to install
has afflicted you, I would like to add that you are not alone in this
problem.
A colleague of mine at UBC received MMa 2.2.3 (studver) on CD-ROM and was
unable to install under Win95. He received a similar error message
involving the set-up program. Wolfram sent a new CD-ROM, but this too
failed to install for the same reasons.
According to the credits in my copy of MMa, I received student version
2.2.4 (Jan 6, 1995). I have had no problems installing or running under
Win95 (yet). We thought perhaps there was an error in the set-up used
with ver.2.2.3 CD-ROM, and tried installing from my CD-ROM. The same
error occurred.
Interestingly, I received my copies of MMa before my colleague did. We
both purchased directly from Wolfram. And, we are using the same release
date Win95 versions. However, I installed MMa *after* installing the
Plus! pack. (It would seem odd to me that there is anything in the Plus!
pack that is mitigating this problem with the set-up used by Wolfram).
However, our computers do not have the same motherboards; this, however,
should not have any bearing on our ability to install MMa.

I have not come across this error before, but it could be
to do with the specific configuration of your computer.
I would strongly suggest that you contact Wolfram Research
Technical Support (sup...@wri.com) directly. They would
be happy to help you get Mathematica installed correctly
on your computer.
I hope this helps.
