[plt-scheme] Can't run Dr. Scheme

Sorry, please ignore my earlier Question #2; I just
discovered that you must have been referring to
Windows _Server_ 2003, for which a client-only version
was never released; hence my ignorance of that OS.

There is a possiblity that DrScheme, in its default
installation, is not compatible with Windows Server
2003, since that was a server-version-only release,
and DrScheme may not have been designed for it.  The
home page for DrScheme states that "DrScheme runs
under Windows (95 and up)," but it is doubtful that
Windows Server 2003 is considered a later version of
Windows 95; rather, it was apparently designed as an
upgrade of Windows 2000 Server.

You may need a special patch to install DrScheme on
Windows Server 2003; I would either search Google or
ask Microsoft about this issue.

If I may ask, why are you installing an IDE on a
server OS?
