As Rob has mentioned, the LSE installation uses LSE.  This is to 
determine your current LSE language default (VMSLSE or PORTABLE).  Did 
you say you never _installed_ or never _used_ LSE on this system?

I am guessing at where in KITINSTAL.COM the installation is failing.

The LSE installation uses the existence of SYS$LIBRARY:LSESHR.EXE to 
determine if you already have LSE installed, and then runs your 
installed version of SYS$SYSTEM:LSEDIT.EXE.

This part of KITINSTAL.COM can be deleted without harm; in fact, the VSI 
version of LSE takes care of such problems.

Send me e-mail offline and I can tell you what do or send you a revised 
version of KITINSTAL for LSE.
