 Hi
    The above disk having arrived (new version 7.3) I managed to install
VMS on both VAXes with out any problem.
In order to install the other items first the disk has to be mounted.
Again no difficulties. I can list the directories and see their
contents.
@SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL invokes the installer, again normal.

It then asks I'm satisified withthe backup of the system disk (Default
[YES])
Next it wants the location of the distribution so I say
DKA100:[TCPIP_VAX051]
Finally it needs the product code. So TCPIP051 to that (they specify the
format)

It then says it cant find the product.

Answers please! 
You can do it entirely from the command line:

$ @sys$update:vmsinstal tcpip051 dka100:[tcpip_vax051.kit]

The VMS distribution CDs usually have the savesets in the [.kit] 
subdirectory. If you don't see tcpip051.a in that directory, it's a 
PCSA install and you'll need to use PRODUCT INSTALL to install it. The 
release notes should provide pretty explicit instructions.
