[s-cars] ETKA 7 - Fat client requirement?

[Ian Duff]

So I've gotten some good advice from Cody Forbes and Mike Sylvester.

Cody's suggestion was to vacuum all traces of ETKA off my machine,  
files and registry entries, then try again. I also found a web site  
exploring some of my issues, and it made similar suggestions. Did so,  
no joy.

That web site also suggested to install from a different drive than  
the one onto which ETKA will go. Sanitized as above, tried a  
different drive from which to install, no joy.

Mike suggested my drive was the wrong format, NTFS or FAT. It failed  
initially on NTFS, so I converted it to FAT32, vacuumed off all  
traces of ETKA, sanitized, installed from a different drive, no joy.

So, trying to install ETKA 7 on a FAT32 partition, installing from a  
different partition, actually a completely different drive, onto a  
drive that has been de-ETKA sanitized. Still getting the fat client  
error. Any ideas?
