[izpack-users] IzPack hangs while installing a pack on Win98.

In my install.xml I have defined a pack as follows.

<pack name="JavaComm" required="yes" os="Windows">
    <singlefile src="javacomm/win32com.dll" 
target="${ENV[WINDIR]}/system32/win32com.dll" override="true"/>
    <description>Java Communications for Windows</description>
</pack>

The installer works find on Windows XP and 2000, but when I try to 
install it on Windows 98
the installer hangs when it tries to install the pack. If I change the 
pack to the following
by removíng the environment variable the installer no longer hangs.

<pack name="JavaComm" required="yes" os="Windows">
    <singlefile src="javacomm/win32com.dll" 
target="c:/windows/system32/win32com.dll" override="true"/>
    <description>Java Communications for Windows</description>
</pack>

Any ideas what's happening? I notice a msdos window flashes on Win98 
when I use the environment variable
and just before it hangs.
