Installer 44.10
« on: June 20, 2005, 04:20:01 PM »
Hi All,
Where can I obtian the new installer v44.10 (as opposed to the readily availble version 43.3)?

The reason I need this particular version is the fact that I get this message when I try to install a WHDLoad enabled game:

"Warning: your installer is outdated. Some features of this installtion won't be available, such as icon show and drawer opening. You have version 43.3, recommended is version 44.10. The 'installer' 44.10 comes with OS 3.5 but is also contained in the NDK 3.9. You may also use the InstallerNG by Jens Troger."

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
CodeHunter

I have downloaded all the versions (iNG_usr, NDK3.9 and InstallerNG), none of them work. The NDK3.9's installer gives me error message. The other packages do not have an installer (just install icon)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
CodeHunter

If you are getting the same error make sure the icon on the game installer points to the new one[/i]

How do I do that?

None of these packages has a file called "Installer", just "Install" icon. When I rename this file to "Installer" (yeah, I am very frustrated so I will try anything), even though it seems to get "fooled" and see it as an Installer, it freeze the whole system and I have to reboot.

Question:

Does WHDLoad even support OS lower than 3.1? (I am emulating an Amiga 600 with OS 2.1)

Thanks again.

Kind Regards,
CodeHunter

Thanks for the info. Does it mean that my real Amiga 600HD also can not use this new installer then? (since it has OS 2.1)

I tried emulating it on WinUAE first to see if it works, then try it on my real Amiga 600HD.

InstallerNG
InstallerNG, when extracted, only extracs a file called InstallerNG.info and a sub-folder called InstallNG.

Inside this sub-folder, there is a file called Install and even more sub-directories (c, catalogs, dveloper, etc.)

Inside the c sub-folder, there are InstallerNG.000, InstallerNG.020 and debug file.

Where is this Installer then?

NDK3.9
This package when extracted, creates a sub-folder called tools, and although it has a file called Installer, it won't work, it simply freezes my system.

I conclude that WHDLoad is NOT compatible with Amiga 600 (OS 2.1).

What a shame, I specifically searched eBay for Amiga HD system to utilise this. Oh well.

I can always copy over all of my adf floppy files to Amiga, but unfortunately its take approx 3 minuts for a 880K floppy disk image to copy from PC to Amiga. I guess I have to live with all these limitations. or buy a Amiga 1200.

This is what happens:

InstallerNG extracted to Workbench:
http://members.cox.net/stooryani/Installer_01.jpg

InstallerNG error:
http://members.cox.net/stooryani/Installer_02.jpg

There is a install icon in the C folder (the information reads as c:\installerng.000.

The game installer also reads c:\installerng.000.

When I click on game install, it says it can't find the installer.
