Title: Using Amibench
Post by: notel98 on September 19, 2024, 11:50:46 AM

I am unfamiliar with Amibench and have not used my real Amiga for many years but would like to install things like Amos and use via Amibench. However every time I insert the Amos disk and attempt to run the installer it fails to install. I have tried v1 and v2 of Amos and V2 seems to hang after selecting the language and then it says it’s updating the disk. (Just stuck)

So are there any known issues with Amos installer and can someone point me in the right direction for a Amibench noob to learn just how to use this software.

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks

Try using https://aminet.net/package/util/misc/Installer-43_3 ...

Just rename the old installer in c: to installer_bak (don't delete in case you need it again) and copy the new one in :)

The AMOS installer doesn't play nicely with more recent OS variants. I had to do jury rigged install to rebuild the WHDBoot code.

It's not a trivial fix as it uses a custom installer

Just got aware that AMOS uses it´s own installer and not the one in C: ... so forget what I said above  ;)
