   We are a few steps too late here, but what I do is copy the contents of the   
   win95 folder from the cd to the harddrive (normally to   
   c:\windows\options\cabs) and run the install from there.  Or I use my OEM   
   install floppy that does this automagically.   
      
   You can edit your registry to use the folder on your harddrive instead of   
   the cd.  Off-hand, I cannot recall the key, but a search for d:\win95 may   
   find it for you.   
      
   There used to be a freeware tool called changeuserinfo.exe that could do   
   this (and change the username and company as well).  Google is your friend:
