Use SnoopDos (from aminet) to have a look at what file the mui installation script is trying to locate:
http://aminet.net/package/util/moni/SnoopDos
Or, load the installation script into a text editor and have a look at line 299 for clues. Let us know what you find.

- do not use a PC to unpack the MUI archive
- do not store the files from the MUI archive on a PC storage medium
- do not use UnArc without Boingbag1 to unpack the MUI archive
If you do one of them, the requested file is lost and MUI cannot be installed. You have to copy the archive to your Amiga and then use either LhA or UnArc of BoingBag1 or higher to unpack it.

I downloaded on my amiga however i do not have boing bag 1 installed, if i install it will this solve it?

I ahve attached a photo :)

Yes. Without Boingbag1 UnArc cannot handle files with space characters in their names.
Similarly PC file systems cannot store files whose names consist of only space characters.
The file which is missing is named " " (just one space). It is the little smiley icon you see when you open the MUI drawer. If the icon is missing or if nothing happens when you double click it, then the archive was not unpacked correctly.
-
I have installed bb1, i have also opened the smiley face icon but that is for registering the software?
-
That's ok. Running it is just a test that it exists. You can now run the install script again. The error should no longer happen.
-
Nope still happening :(
-
Open a Shell window and list the contents of the directory you unpacked the MUI archive to.
It should look like this:

Ok so i managed to install mui but i have another problem when i try to install voyager i get a message saying "The installer could not find: MUI:Libs/mui/NListview.mcc" do you know where i can find this file?
-
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nlist-classes/
There is a site somewhere which has links to many if not all third-party MUI classes, but I don't remember its address.

well that got rid of that error but i am presented with another error its now saying "ERROR: Voyager 3.2 ( 16.4.00) requires (at least) V11 of "viimgdecode_68000.vlib" in "PROGDIR:Plugins" "
-
This looks like a component of V is missing. Are you sure you've installed it correctly?
PROGDIR is the directory V has been run from. Have you perhaps moved V out of its installed directory?
-
@Thomas
no i have not move the directory :(
-
just a note that most mui classes are on aminet. Just search MCC and it should show most of them.
