The way you describe it, your only solution seems reverse engineering. Do a
SET HOST/LOG 0, log on again and SET VERIFY. Next run the command
procedures. Log off and study the SETHOST.LOG file.
My guess would be that some component is not in INSTALL. If there are any
TL*.EXE files in SYS$SHARE or SYS$SYSTEM you might try and INSTALL them,
/HEADER/OPEN/PRIV.
Assuming that you have the VAXstation all for yourself. You might either
upset others or give them an, err, interesting opportunity.
