Trouble installing the settlers

[sturulez]

Im trying to install the settlers by using WHDLOAD. After I've extracted the WHDLOAD file and click on the install button, a message appears saying


AN ERROR HAS OCCURED

Unable to compile script.
ERROR: invalid parameter for statement on line 291.


Anyone got any ideas how I over come this problem and install this game?


Thanks

Cheers guys! Yeh it's just a pain in the bum getting the manual out every time and doing the protection part.
Will give it a go and let you know how I get on! ��

That's true, there is. But unless he has a cracked version then he'll need the user manual for the copy protection.
 
Just download it from here ready-to-go for the easiest:

Ive downloaded the zip file but i cant open it in workbench? Ive renamed the file to .lha but that doesnt work.
 
 
Ive looked on aminet for the latest version of c:\ installer but im not to sure which one im after or the one im looking for.

First thing to try is to disable the PRELOAD option on the settlers icon.

So select the icon, then select Information from the Icon menu. Scroll down the tooltypes list and one of the tooltypes is called "PRELOAD". Change this to "(PRELOAD)" which effectively disables preload option, and so it will not try to load the whole game into ram first.

I'm not convinced that's your problem, but it's the first thing you should try so that we can move things along a bit. Settlers should preload fine anyway is what I mean.

Next you could also try removing any card you have in the PCMCIA slot as this could be causing a problem as well. Again, unlikely if you have 6MB only, but it rules it out (8MEG Ram cards do cause problems with the cardslot).

I've tried both of the points you suggested and the same message still appears.

I've still got the original settlers installed, Is there not a file I can delete or edit that can bypass the copy protection partA?

How do I find out how much chip ram and fast ram I have?

I've replaced the file with the original in the WHDLOAD folder and that message still appears.

I went into the data folder which is in the settlers folder and was looking through the files and saw a file saying "settlers" so I double clicked on it and the game loaded up. But when it got to the copy protection part it wouldn't let me carry on. Like I needed to enter the correct symbols in order to carry on.
