I am using Ros 0.2.1 from CVS dated 29022004 (fresh build from today) When I run "abiword-setup-2-0-3.exe " from CMD window , a message box is diplayed "Verifying installer 9%" After 1 hour , still this same messagebox "9%" .

Then AbiWord never even started. Do other NSIS v2 based installers work? The AbiWord installer uses several NSIS plugins, such as to check internet connection, etc. and has been reported to fail on Windows 95 without IE.
If you want to test AbiWord, try running just the executable, http://abiword.pchasm.org/builds/nightly/win32/AbiWord.exe or for latest Stable build http://abiword.pchasm.org/builds/nightly/win32/ABI-2-0-0-STABLE/VC6SP5/AbiWo...
If it makes it easier and you want the extra files (help, etc) I can probably add a zip install method for AbiWord.
As for the timer issue, for testing purposes, a simple fix of ignoring the timer callback if abi's timer object is disabled may suffice for a more graceful failure. I will see about adding a zip build of AbiWord with a timer workaround tommorrow to http://abiword.pchasm.org/builds/periodic/ if anyone with ROS installed wants to try it.
(I generally provide the Win32 builds of AbiWord)
