[Elecraft] K3 Frequency Memory Editor with Win98SE

[Paul Kirley]

Installation of the .zip version of the Freq Mem Editor failed on my Win98SE
machine.  I unzipped in my own temporary directory (nonstandard name) and 
double-clicked setup.exe as instructed.  

Is there some special place where the .msi file should be placed?  I believe
that I already have some .msi files here and there from other downloads.
I do not have "DotNet" installed, as I have never needed it.

The log file shows the following, ending in an error message that setup.exe
displayed when it abended:
