Typical Microsoft. Take something nice and easy like boot.ini, and
replace it with something that you can't modify with a simple text
editor!

Could the custom values be in the registry somewhere? A search for
something like noexecute and fastdetect (assuming that is still the text
description of those options) might find something useful.

My install.bat does the following:

"
ver | find "Version 5.0." > nul
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto ver_2k
"

I guess I'll change it to something like:

"
ver | find " 5.0." > nul
if %ERRORLEVEL% == 0 goto ver_2k
"

Which should still work. Thanks for the tip. I have received a few
emails from a German (I think) guy but I don't speak the language so I
don't know what he was saying... maybe it was something about this...
