Problem installing MUI
« on: May 24, 2006, 01:29:04 AM »
Background:
I did a fresh install of OS 3.9 on my 6gb hard drive.  It's split into 4 partitions of 1.5gb each and the filesystem is SFS 1.236.  Eerything seems to work fine, except for this problem: When I attempt to install MUI, it stops after giving the error:

COPYLIB: Can't open file " " in line 299
DOS Error Type: unable to locate a file or drawer

Now, I've tried a few things.  One, I attempted to use the 43.3 installer from aminet instead of the 44.10 version that came with OS 3.9.  Didn't work.  Second, I tried copying it to RAM like one poster on another board suggested.  Didn't work.

Does anyone know where this problem stems from, or how to solve it?  Is this SFS related?

Any help would be appreciated.

Actually this had nothing to do with windows - I d/l'd the archive from Aminet using AWeb.  The issue seems to be the way  the "unarc" program handles LHA files.  I dl'd/installed standard LHA from aminet and it's fine.  I'm now using it with an LHA frontend, and the "lha x mui38usr.lha" extraction worked fine.

So if you have a chance, decompress the MUI LHA file with unarc and see if it installs - bet it doesn't.
