got it to work, had to edit the config and move some files around, thnx anyways though, I have a new problem where installshield crashes after it loads, it is as follows:
fixme

le:NdrProxyErrorHandler (0xc0000005): semi-stub
fixme

le:RpcChannel_GetDestCtx (0x4034311c)->GetDestCtx(0x43fd2800,0x43fd2804)
fixme

le:NdrConvert (pStubMsg == ^0x407611bc, pFormat == ^0x100041c8): stub.
fixme

le:NdrConvert (pStubMsg == ^0x43fd278c, pFormat == ^0x100041c8): stub.
XIO: fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server ":0.0"
after 984 requests (514 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
This is just a fraction of it, I was trying to install bf1942 if it matters, and i'm running on:
AMD athlonXP 1.66ghz
nvidia geforce 4 ti 4600 128mb
512mb RAM
Help me plz.
I was using plain old CVS by the way.
