1. Download and extract inferno.tgz and Nt.tgz
2. Run setup.exe
3. Hit enter

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Dunno the expected output, but the install folder shouldn't be empty!

Looking for Emu ... Found H:\tools\inin\Nt\386\bin\emu.exe

I have the same problem trying to install on a work's WinXP desktop.  I am 
using       
Fourth Edition (20071003).  My login to WinXP, I believe is performed via Active
Directory.

What would be helpful is information on how I can replicate what the installer 
is
doing so I can replay the steps.  The Inferno OS download web page only has 
minimal
information on this; I need specifics like the parameters to send to `emu.exe` 
to
copy the files, the Windows registry to modify, etc.

I just looked at the Unix installer scripts and issued the equivalent command to
start `emu.exe` and the error message still persists.

Error message is:
panic: can't make none user

I just got exactly the same error message when I tried to install Inferno from a
shared remote partition. Copying the Inferno install directories to a local 
partition
first and then installing it from that local partition did work!
