Thanks, Peter. No, my *.zip file has "NewView.hlp" and "NewView.ipf". It does not have
"NewView.inf", which is what the installation program stalled on. Yup, I know what the
Changes.txt file says!

No, I'm using the installer. However, I am using the option to install as a separate
application ( 1.) not replacing the help icons; 2.) not replacing the View.EXE
"helpmgr.dll" file and 3.) not setting NewView as the default). On my ECS system
View.EXE is the default (that's how ECS installed it and ECS also installed NewView
and located it in E:\ecs\bin.

I wanted to install the new version of NewView.EXE elsewhere in my system and
eliminate the use of the NewView installed by ECS on E:\ecs\bin. I used the NewView
installer to install version 2.14.37 as a separate app. Then I manually eliminated the
previous version of NewView, installed in E:\ecs\bin, by renaming all its associated
files (I did a complete search for NewView on E:\).
