Boing Bag -1

First rule of troubleshooting - tell us what the error message says... take a screenshot, use your camera phone, write it on a post-it note, anything!  Plenty of people here have successfully installed all the BB's without issue.  If we knew what the error message was we could be of more help!

It's probably that you need the CD in the drive?

Also, I have a (painfully long) video you're welcome to watch, here:

Might help.

We're pretty much guessing at this point, but "wrong version of installer" sounds like it could be legit.  Open a shell prompt and type "version C:Installer" (without the quotes).  What does it say?

How did you install 3.9?  Did you install it onto a blank partition or overtop of an existing operating system?  Did you install it off the CD or some other method?  Did the 3.9 install complete successfully, without errors?  Did you install both 3.9 and the "Internet tools"?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Version is 1.24. I installed it off of a CD over the top of 3.5 and yes it completed successfully
with Internet tools.

No, that's not an Installer version.  It should be something like 44.x.

I would really, really recommend installing on a fresh partition.  Who knows what junk you have left over from the 3.5 install that's going to mess it up.  If you need help, watch my video.  Yes, I know it's long.  And yes, I know I talk too much and need to redo it.  But I sincerely believe it will be able to help you if you watch the entire thing.

Mike, Okay I will do that, thanks for the help. Doesn't 3.9 need to be installed in over 3.5?

No, it can be installed on a fresh partition by first booting off the "Emergency" boot disk.  Which can be made using the tool on the 3.9 CD.  

Not saying it can't be installed over 3.5, I'm just suggesting that you'll save yourself a lot of headache by installing it fresh, since none of us here would have any way of knowing what you have installed along with that 3.5 install, that could potentially cause problems.  

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Mike,  Copied the installer from the OS3.9 disk and the update is not running!
So, thanks so much, everyone...

"Not" running?  Or "Now" running?  Haha.

Looks like only the old V1.0g is there. The current version is V1.0k. You can get it from:

http://amigan.1emu.net/releases/

Dang!  I try my best to always have the latest libraries on my system.  Looks like I missed this site!  From the changelog in the readme, doesn't seem like much has changed between 1.0g and 1.0k.  It's mostly stuff that anyone who watches Aminet regularly would have caught, anyway (layers.library 45.27, new Peter K. icon.library, etc.), but still.  Now I just feel bad, haha.  In my dreams, someday there will be a single site where all Amiga updates can be downloaded from, so I'm not having to bookmark a dozen different sites.  Yeah, in my dreams, right?  

This is another one of my favorites:

Have fun with that, not going to tell you how much time I've spent scanning that site and comparing it to what I have installed!  :laughing:
