Lennie,

I haven't seen this problem with the Ruby installer before,
but I *have* seen this problem installing other software
under Win98.

By hand, remove any partially installed files, and then
try running "scandisk" (or checkdisk or whatever they
call it these days.)  I was installing a music program
that died just like that, and after giving Windows a chance
to fix the disks up, it worked okay on the first try.
