I ran the MINK installer on a helpdesk machine and it fails consistently (
and has with the last three clients that I've told to use it).


I choose all the default answers, thenit starts installing the files.  it
gets to

  copying file:
  D:\TEMP\FTP4W.DLL
                      114%

hangs for about 30 seconds then:

    Ftp connection failed.  Error code 2002




and goes on saying the installation failed because of an ftp error.


an hour later it worked (paused for a while at 114% though and then this
time continued)  I doubt that you changed anything.  If you did an
announcement would be appreciated.  Thus, this sporadic error results in
many headaches.  Could you please look into it.

Thank you,
