9iAS R2 Install on Win2K - Anyone seen this????

I am trying to install ias 9.0.2.1 (Infrastructure) on a Windows 2000/SP2 workstation (PIII 450Mhz 650Mb RAM, 16GB Free Disk Space, 1GB Swap file).

I install 2 of the 3 disks no problem, but then the 3rd blows up quite soon after loading with the following error message at the end of the logfile:

It looks like the path is wrong. (The PatchesList1.ser file certainly exists in that location).

Has anyone else seen/experienced this?
If so, is there a workaround?

Many thanks in advance
