Did you include DECnet OSI?   I tried that and got same error.  I tried DECnet IV instead and made it through.

Later I found AXPbox install guide and it explains about that error and simply answer 'no' and continue...

It's easier to just start a new install (mostly because I don't know how to do the copy off the top of my head) and go watch some football.  :-)

Sadly, here's another new one.  I have done 6 installs so far and never got this error.  Is this one going to be a show stopper?

Do you want to terminate? [YES]
