This problem is a result of version 1.1c of the Installer having been compiled with FPU instructions built in. The problem will only show up on machines without an FPU. Since 1.1c was recompiled to remove this problem and 1.1d does not have this problem, upgrading to version 1.1d or later is probably the easiest solution, but another possible solution is to install Software FPU. Thanks to Steven Campbell (scampbel@osha.igs.net) for pointing out this problem and Stephen C. Brown (sbrown@shellx.best.com) for fixing it.
