Did you uninstall between the two?  You can't just install one over the 
other (you should be able to but it doesn't work that well).

The old installer breaks the rules (because I didn't know how to do it 
any other way when I made it) but you're not supposed to ever put 
anything in system32.  All the new code is designed to run from a single 
directory.

Part of the pre-release testing is NT4 (less so now that it's not so 
popular as an OS) but 2.0.62 hasn't had much of that.  The msi installer 
has been quite well tested on it though... doesn't work 100% (the 
offsite links don't work as NT4 doesn't support the format that MSI 
generates) but is good enough.
