computer the installation fails and the following error message appears:
Application Error: INSTALL caused an Illegal Instruction in module
INSTALL.EXE at 0001:03E6."
CAUSE
When Windows NT runs on a RISC processor such as the DEC Alpha or MIPS
R4000, 16-bit Windows emulation only supports standard mode.
The code for WordPerfect 6.0 for Windows INSTALL.EXE includes specific
Intel 386 instructions, which will not run on the 286 emulator provided
under Windows NT on the RISC-based platforms.
