That means that CYGFS isn't set.  The Swarm install procedure
sets that in the environment registry in the case of NT, and in
autoexec.bat in the case of Windows 95/98.  Perhaps if you are trying
to rig up a network install, this was the oversight.

Sorry, it is enough work to maintain our own InstallShield package
for Swarm.  I definitely don't have time to do it for a third party package.
