I just downloaded SPWaW v5.01 and sucessfully unzipped the file. When I try to launch the Setup I get the "initializing setup" message and a second later get booted back to Windows. Any ideas?

Try restarting computer to regain resources, disable everything (including antivirus protection) in the background except Explorer and systray and retry the installation. First I've heard of this unless your download is corrupted or incomplete. Good luck

Tried your suggestion with no luck. I'm going to re-download and try again. I was suprised to hear from someone from my old hometown. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks.

Did you download from the same site?? Are you unzipping the executable program to hard drive first or are you trying to run the program from within the unzipping program?? If from within the unzipping program definetely unzip to the hard drive first.
What version of DirectX are you running(type "dxdiag" minus the quotes in the run box).
