Dwight,

  Hmmm, I don't think I have not seen that before, I have a LANServer
(that's what I assume you mean when you said LM3.0) and I copied all of
my 4 disks onto a directory there.  I have the CIDINST.CMD on a local
drive and edited it to point to the LANServer drive/directory, I started
it and it ran fine...Make sure that the permissions are set correctly
for the file, and rerun it.  If you still have a problem, I would like
to see your CIDINST.CMD and ADSMRESP.DAT files and what your exact
configuration is, send it to my id htang AT vnet.ibm DOT com
