Missing MUI File when installing
« on: April 14, 2023, 07:37:05 AM »
I downloaded MUI3.8 from Aminet to install on an A3000 running OS 3.2.2. I have a registered key file as well. During the installation, it pops an error at line 299 of the install script saying it can't find a file then exits. To the best I can determine, it fails after it requests to proceed copying PSI. Whether I "Skip this part" or "Proceed", it fails. The error is:

Sorry ... an Error has Occurred!
COPYLIB: Can't open  file " " in line 299.
DOS Error Type: Unable to locate a file or drawer.

Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong? Are there libraries I need to have and how do I determine which ones I need?

Thanks!

Fascinating, thank you. I will try again. I unpacked the archive in Windows as I was getting an error when unpacking the .LHA archive in Workbench.

Yes, there is a small file in the archive whose name is a single space character. This is an invalid file name in other operating systems. It means, do not use Windows or Mac programs to unpack the installation archive. Copy the archive as is to AmigaOS and use an Amiga program to unpack it.



That did the trick. I grabbed a copy of "lha.run" from Aminet, http://aminet.net/package/util/arc/lha, installed it, unpacked the MUI archive on the Amiga and MUI installed like a dream.

Thank you!
