It would be abnormal for it to look for newview.inf. The standard is for
the online help to be named .hlp and for the viewed manual to be name
.inf. The .hlp and the .inf are not supposed to contain the same
information, but they often do because the tech writers got lazy.

If it stalled on anything, I would expect it to have stalled on
newview.ipf, which is the source code for newview.hlp. The install
package does not contain a newview.inf.

When I installed the second

I really suspect you are misreading something.

HTH,
