it fails at 56% of the way.

This problem in the installer for the version 1.0.1 CD prevents it from completing a 'Full' installation. Here is how to work around this problem:

a ) First, do a 'Standard' install.

b ) Now, after you do a standard install you can create a 'Full' install by copying the correct files from your CD to the Jack 6 directory on your hard drive.

- On the CD open the Setup directory. Then open the JNGBC directory.

- Next open the Data directory. The dos path looks like this:

<CD-DRIVE-LETTER>:\\Setup\\JNGBC\\Data

Do the same thing with your Jack 6 directory located on your hard drive.

The dos path looks like this for the default Jack 6 directory:

C:\\Program Files\\Activision\\JN6-Golden Bear Challenge\\Data

- Now copy all of the files and directories inside the data directory on the CD to the Data directory on your hard drive. It will ask you if you want to replace files, say \"Yes to all\".

When the copy is finished you should have a full install on your hard drive.
