Windows 98se and Windows Installer Service

Hello all, ok here it is, starting with a new formated drive, i install win98se, great so far, then i install Ghost and do an image to another drive, i go to that drive right click on the file and go properties, and a box opens right away with the details of the file "A", this is good for now, the problem happens when i install programs that require the latest Windows Installer Service,eg: InstMsiA.exe, once this is installed i go back to file "A" right click and then as soon as i click properties the HD goes nuts and it takes ages for the box to open with the details of the file to show up, i cant figure it out, all thats on the comp is win98se Ghost and that installer service, can anyone help me ?
