Seem to work okay with buildID# 2002-08-15-08 w/ Win2000.  I closed the browser
before installing.  Saw the shockwave icon in the background but no movie files.

the embed element is coded incorrectly. The markup is now:
<embed src="_borders/spin2.dcr" ...

it should be:
<embed src="spin2.dcr"

Marking as wontfix, it is a site issue
