Problems installing applications in Amibench

[THX-1138]

I've been trying to install various applications on Amibench with mixed results, I seem to get a lot of installer problems.

I've tried to install vbcc (vbcc_bin_amiga68k) and get a Software Failure! error.

Program Failed
Task : 0x40F2D908 - Installer
Error : 0x80000006 - CHK instruction error

[THX-1138]

Nobody?

Can anyone point me to a programming language known to install and work on the A600GS?

[THX-1138]

I must be the only person trying to install software. (?!?)

So today I'm trying to install AMOS.  AGAIN with installer problems.

I click "Install AMOS" and get:

Program Failed
Task : 0x401EEF00 - DF0
Error: 0x0100000F - Memory header not located
PC  : 0x00F8DB30
Wait for disk activity to finish.

I press Continue and I get error 0x1000009 - Memory freed twice.

Then Amibench starts reloading/redrawing VERY slowly a few times and locks.

I have to F12 and quit.

[THX-1138]

If you're in Amibench, you can mount ADFs by pressing F12 and choosing it from the menu.

So far, I've just had no luck getting much with an installer to actually install.

Even SysInfo killed Amibench.  Had to the bootable disk image version instead.

I'll try the aminet installer, thanks for the suggestion.

[THX-1138]

I downloaded two installers from Aminet.

installer.lha doesn't work, video corruption and programs still fail to install.

installer-43_3.lha same problems.

So back to square one.

If ANYONE has been able to install ANYTHING on Amibench, please tell me how you did it and give links to whatever you used.  Short of doing voodoo I am out of ideas.

[THX-1138]

Ah!

I've realised what is wrong.  I have two copies of installer, one in C: the other in SYS:/Utilities.  So I renamed both to Installer.BAK and coped the installer from Installer43_3 to C:

So far, so good.
