Newton Connection Kit for Windows: Truncated Line Error

When I try to install the Newton Connection Kit for Windows, the error "MemReadlinefrom file - Truncated Line" occurs.

What causes this error? How do I recover from it?
This error occurs during installation while the Newton Connection Kit for Windows installer is reading or modifying one of the following system configuration files:

* CONFIG.SYS
* AUTOEXEC.BAT
* SYSTEM.INI
* WIN.INI

This particular error occurs if one or more lines in these files exceeds 128 characters. A future version of the Newton Connection Kit for Windows will address this installer problem.

The workaround is edit these files so each line is less than 128 characters.

You can edit these files with the Windows application SYSEDIT. To run SYSEDIT, go to the Program manager, choose Run from the File menu and execute SYSEDIT.EXE.
