with a solution which was a combination I had not tried, but which
really does work!

In this case, install Net 6.4/04

Version 3.5 off of newly released CD-ROM

To cause this error - I had put the OpenRoad
stuff on first and, following installation instructions, 
made sure that the NET and Tools for Windows were in a
separate directory tree, installed second.  Then regardless
of what II_SYSTEM was set to, one set of apps would not run.
